Because it’s a political tool to delegitimise European history; certainly, Islam contributed much to Medieval European material & intellectual life, but it relies on ignoring Europe’s own achievements during this period. Both civilisations are worthy of commendation.

Another case of people interpreting the past & redefining it due to present day concerns rather than interpreting the past on its own terms. It’s not as if the Old English referred to themselves as Anglos, Saxons, & Jutes. Or that Tacitus mentions the Anglii….

Cromwell’s court was a merry place… At his daughter’s wedding, pipe & pint in hand, Cromwell grabbed his son-in-law’s whig, making fun of the French fashion. He sat on the whig to the humiliation of the newly married man. Many more tales of boisterous happenings…
Just watched the Horrible Histories summary of the English Civil War and am afraid the line: ‘Oliver Cromwell: about as much fun as stinging-nettle underpants’, is a belter.

King Harold Godwineson’s tombstone at Battle Abbey. (Or as I refer to him, England’s noble protector). The altar stood on the spot where Harold fell. The wreath was lain by the English Gesiths (companions). A society dedicated to Old English culture, society, language & so on…

We see Beowulf suffer from boasting. Before going to slay Grendel’s mother he confidently exclaims his intent in the hall. Once he reaches the cave he reflects on them, regretting their utterance. But his prior words hold him to account. Into the darkness he goes
Modesty of speech is such an underrated virtue. It is so hard to always keep to our word and so easy to blaspheme the mighty name of Jesus.

England would gladly accept the statue’s return. Beside understandable national grievances, he was truly a great warrior, loyal to his lord-king no matter the odds (even to King John); a man of the highest character set apart from the rest of knighthood.
Why is there a statue of William marshal in Wales?
A Norman responsible for the subjegation of conquest of the Welsh and who ruled over stolen lands. We barely have statues to our own heroes of old, yet we erect statues to those subjugated us?

Harold's sister was supposedly betrothed to a Norman noblemen, thus the depiction emanates from the opinion of the English seamstresses. Viewing the betrothal to French conquerors as disgraceful.
Perhaps Harold courted a Norman noblewoman during his stay...

New Knighthood aimed to make knights warriors of Christ who achieved heroic actualisation through transcendent connection with God in warfare. By becoming Christ’s servants knights were to turn away from vain worldly glories to greater glories beyond oneself…
'This is a new kind of knighthood, one unknown to the ages gone by. It ceaselessly wages a twofold war both against flesh and blood and against a spiritual army of evil in the heavens... they lack neither monastic meekness nor military might... These are the picked troops of God'

The Normans chanted ‘Novus Stella, Novus Rex,’ taking the star as a positive omen symbolising a new age…
Ancient peoples thought that unique events in the heavens were signs signalling great changes in the world. For example, in 1066 there was a comet seen in England thought to be an omen. Later that year William the Conqueror invaded England and defeated the Harold at Hastings.

Indebting yourself to pursue a lordly lifestyle is highly aristocratic. 12th c. pipe rolls abound in this behaviour. Strongbow’s indebtedness caused him to settle in Leinster; debt is the prelude to greatness. Saving is peasant/mercantile reasoning…

The beauty of Becket’s tale is a worldly man reconnecting with God, achieving sainthood through martyrdom. However, many contemporary churchmen saw him as a self-righteous hypocrite, claiming he harmed the church’s cause by splitting its ranks. Only in death did Becket help it…

The average Englishman still spoke Old English after 1066 - there was plenty of regional variation, but it persisted. Likewise, many Normans married Englishwomen & their children spoke both languages. Middle English is a mixture of Old English & Old French.

Strictly speaking none of them were rightful & all pressed their claim by force. Edgar had the best claim but was still a boy. Ed ‘entrusted’ the realm & Edith to Harold. In other words, Harold was to rule until Edgar came of age.
"Explain 1066. Who was the rightful king? Was it Harold Godwinson, Harald Siggurdsson, or William of Normandy?
"You know the god Oðinn, known also as Wotan, perhaps Woden, yes? We must reflect on his role as progenitor of the line of kings in England. No, this is not purely

Such orders were partially created by the church to Christianise/reform Germanic warrior spirit; it’s logical that when such orders became powers in their own right & developed their own customs/traditions outside of the church, for popes to clamp down on them

I think it’s more trying to imitate modern Western ‘culture’. In London I still see plenty of Asians dressing smartly. But there is a noticeable portion who dress in the sort of clothes Western youths wear. Just as those Asians who dress smartly often do so in western styles.

Every Englishman worth his wergild dines on black pudding. This is not a debate.
Black pudding (blood sausage) is first mentioned by Homer in the Odyssey. It was eaten by peoples all over ancient Europe and still is.
Byzantine Emperor Leo VI tried to ban it in the early 10th century.
It remains a litmus test for true Europeans. Do you enjoy this health

Interesting rhetorical focus on ‘service’; naturally, to contrast with Tory corruption. Whether or not it is sincere, espousing duty is strong messaging, arousing sentiments long lost to politics. Sentiments which will be a key formula for 21st c. political messaging & conduct.
