Why

[Suff]

Well the Plantagenet empire stretched from the borders of Spain to the borders of Scotland but they've managed to obscure that one.

Very few even want to know.

[Workingman]

Eh? The Plantagenets.

What about the Tudors?

I know, let's bring in the Merovingians and the Huns, they should sort things in Ukraine. Anyone know where the Knights Templar are, or the Freemasons?

[Suff]

Yes but the Plantagenets are very well documented and not equally.

In England they were Kings of England who warred with France. In France they were Dukes with a huge empire of which the English Crown was just a part.

History is often warped to fit the goals of those in power.

History is written by the winners.
That's why Richard the third is such a bad guy - he lost!

[Workingman]

Ah, yes, I get what was being hinted at now.

I read somewhere that Putin will not invade until after the Beijing Olympics so as not to pee off the Chinese. If so we have a few weeks for cool heads to sit down and talk - serious talks, not threats, bluff and bluster.
