  1. I really hope this is the battle site, been reading about this epic battle for decades. The use of Lidar and other imaging technologies will aid in confirming if this is the area of the great battle.

  2. Britain had to be United against Catholic France and Spain. The Lowland Scots Presbyterians and other Protestants wanted no part of the Stewarts and saw the burgeoning power of England getting rich from the colonies. Even if the Jacobites won at Culloden, they would have still lost the war.

  4. They would have if they could. But they got their arses kicked at Fulford with high casualties by Harald Hardrada, then lost even more men at Stamford Bridge. Sad to say but it was written by destiny that the Normans hold England, for better and for worse.

  6. No, dont conflate the evil shit pits of wokeness to this my friend. You can blame President Woodrow Wilson for this crap, according to him 'colored' troops only deserve a bag of rusty barbed wires.

  7. The Anglians in North East England easily called Vikings Danes because they were already familiar with them before they left Angeln in Jutland. Fun fact, the Anglians didnt consider the Danish hordes as existential threats as the Saxons in Wessex did which is why resistance were so strong from the Saxons.
