I’m glad you enjoyed it. Tolkien was quite a character, and I think he spent so much time in the medieval world that it probably didn’t seem so long ago after all! I wonder what we’d be eating if the English had come out on top? Boiled mutton and blood pudding? On the whole, while I felt more kinship with Harold than with William (though one of my ancestors was exiled to France and took the opportunity to return with William), I’m rather glad for the tempering effects of French cooking and language!

I was just reading a biography of J.R.R. Tolkien. He rued that the Norman Conquest led to the corruption of his beloved language, Old English. The philologist didn’t enjoy French cooking or like the French language, either. That was a long time to hold a grudge!
