Trolls

Being ALMOST as Scandinavian as I am Scottish (29% former/36%latter – even though they are both, basically, the same!) I have always had a fondness for the Norse myths about Trolls. A troll is a class of being in Norse mythology and Scandinavian folklore. In Old Norse sources, beings described as trolls dwell in isolated rocks, mountains, or caves, live together […]

Puhlease – will someone, somewhere explain to me why Women in MS History are usually only ever categorised as a Whore or a Virgin? Below is chapter 1 of Empress of the East. Roxelana was (?!) a Slave and a Concubine. A Witch. A Seductress. And an Unwanted Foreign Interloper. REALLY? What about a good […]

Toot & Anook

I’m still on the trail of Ankhesenamun, wife of Tutankhamen. Wiki : Ankhesenamun Now. If New Chronology are right and Toot was really the child Tsar Dmitry, was he married? So many questions. So few tangible answers. How frus-bloody-trating!!! From NC: TUTANKHAMUN AND CZAREVICH DMITRY. By calling a young pharaoh Tutankhamun, we rely on […]

My theory is – maybe if Doggerland WAS real and Ireland WAS connected to mainland Britain and Scandinavia WAS ALSO connected to the above as well as Europe – then a camel in […]

Edgar was certainly not heir by primogeniture, as later kings would be, since Duncan II had a legitimate son and heir in the person of William fitz Duncan.[7] With Donald and Edmund removed, however, Edgar was uncontested king of Scots, and his reign incurred no major crisis. Compared with his rise to power, Edgar’s reign is obscure. One […]
