What's wrong with Saxons?



See the dude labelled Harold Rex?  Saxons are losers.

Hey That's my Uncle. :(

I see you have succumbed to the propagandist revisionism of the Bayeux tapestry. I'm very sad... :(

That arrow has a rather noticable bend to it where it was restitched when the tapestry was restored a couple of centuries after it was made, so that it would "fit the legend". As far as I am aware, current thought is that the Harold figure is the man (off-screen on the right to your picture) being cut down by the man on the horse (whose arse is shown in your image.)

Without knowing all the arguments, it certainly fits the positioning of the writing "Haroldus Rex Interfecit Est" that is on the tapestry.

Unsolicited youtube links? No thanks.

Yeah, I'm sure you didn't click it but still felt compelled to say something.

Usually I don't click on them, as after all reading a post takes two seconds...with a youtube link you are asking me to give up 2-3 minutes.  This morning, I did click on it but then closed it before it had even started to load...so like I said, no thanks. :)

Fine, lazy. I'll give you a synopsis. It was a clip from Mad Men where the bosses were admonishing one of the account guys for trying to convince a client to market their tvs to negroes.

I tend to click to see what the video is and then not bother watching.

The Minsky Moment

What really pisses me off is that, after Hastings, a number of the bolder thegns and huscarls travelled to Constantinople and took up service in the Varangian guard. Alexius was campaigning in the Balkans against the Normans and fought a major battle against them at Durazzo, where nearly all the Varangians got killed  :mad:

Didn't one of the Saxon royal women end up in Russia married to a rurikid?  I vaguely recall the present British monarchy being able to trace a line of descent to the Anglo-Saxon monarchs through her.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Yeah there was like a little colony of them in Russia.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
