Nepotism aside
Dubious research, presumptions and statements, re-enacted – suspect dialog ? what evidence do we have for half the statements in this program. How can we prove what William did or didn’t know – he might have arranged for Alfred to fight one of William’s norse relations up north ? remember the Norman’s had been in normandy for not much longer than a 100 years – normans norse men north men = vikings, that went south conquered and set up a state of feudal privilege in that region of france, transplants with a delusion of grandeur
“the papal banner reminded the normans god was on their side” ? – what shit is this
When are we gonna stop having history programmes on TV that delve into improvised drama re-enactment including dialog from 1000 year previous combatants – like its reality tv. When will these programs have to put their references at the end ?
