@lafayettepod @histodons @medievalists I live in New Zealand. I was able to follow my ancestry back through various Normans to Henry 111 of England, thus on to Eleanor D’Aquitaine - Savoy - Charlemagne (with a billion other descendants). Years ago I visited Eleanor, Henry 11 and Richard Lionheart’s resting place in the Loire valley. If I’d known I’d have said hi granddad and grandma (22 times removed). #history #historyofknowledge #books #bookstodon #thesocialcontract
