History is a very interesting subject, but concentrating on main events and people gives a warped picture...

There has been a lot of 'Kings of England'' but not a lot of 'English'' kings

Take 'Braveheart'' for instance...A definite Scots hero, but his name was 'William of wales' (William Wallace in todays pronunciation)
