I think I will celebrate by going through all of my notes and materials. There's bound to be lots of stuff I never followed up on.

Funny story:

I don't know how many are aware, but I've been working on a series of research submissions for months now, they're all posted already...

There's 27 submissions made up of 9parts and a bunch of explanations in between... the point here, is that the crux of my research has been staring me in the face since entry... 20 or some shit... I forget which, right now, but yeah - go back over the stuff you filed away, for sure!

Hey... I am back from your ordessey.

Your talented and I admire your hard work but I thought the study of history is a quest for understanding of the past.

Take a step back..

Take a deep breath..

Take your time...

& read this..

According to the 19th-century historian Edward Freeman, William the Conqueror, who was also known as William the Bastard, was sometimes known as “William the Mamzer.” This is where things get real interesting. Mamzer is a Hebrew pejorative meaning the child of an illegitimate sexual relationship, such as adultery or incest. In Europe, it may have entered the vernacular as a pejorative for the offspring of a particular type of illegitimate relationship—one between a Christian man and a Jewish woman.

. . .Furthermore, tanners were frequently Jews. . . . The medieval equivalent of anti-semitism.

We know that in the 11th century Normandy was home to a large number of Jews. By some estimates, its capital Rouen began that century with a population that was one-fifth Jewish. And we know that William was relatively fond of the Jews: after his Conquest, he suggested Normandy’s children of Israel resettle in England—a surprising invitation, even for someone interested in developing trade and finance. . . .

Does any of this prove that England as we know it was founded by a Jew? Of course not. But it’s something to chew on.

Fascinating!!!
