I like Harry as well.
Harold Godwinson was born in Wessex that makes him English in my bookYou were talking of loyalty in the sense of including the context of foreign rulers - the saxons were foreign rulers. James II was not.
Last Saxon King was 6 centuries earlierAs SWP said, the last saxon ruler was over half a century before.
People should be loyal to their own people first, then the civilians of the world and their monarchy after that (if they have one). Otherwise your leaving yourself open to being loyal to a tyrant/general cnut which is something we as a society look down upon; that doesn't stop some applying that selectively though.
That doesn't include supporting your own people going on the offence outside of lands they have a substantial claim on.
That was the normans. The bastards.Fuck em, I still haven't forgiven them for the harrying of the north.
Yeah I meant millennium as well.Sorry that's what I meant, blame @SWP's back - I automatically read his post as being over 500 years and quoted him :) Half a millennium before I think we both meant.
oops been out for the game, so you're saying anyone who's born in England can't be English unless their ancestors were born in England, right got ya.His dynasty (that gave him rule) was a foreign invader.
With all those empty bedrooms, perhaps once it's been renovated she could put up a few of her homeless subjects.
