Re: This, That, and the Other (none / 0)

Well, siegestate wrote about it not being nice to be a moor anytime after 1450, but qualified it with "the Catholic thing of forced conversions", which indeed came later. But without that qualification, I think he would be right, read e.g. this.

_{*Lunatic*, n.

One whose delusions are out of fashion.}

Re: This, That, and the Other (none / 0)

Again, I admit to only a handful of actual facts that I must merge with many hundreds of years of actual history, and appreciate your showing where to look for more data.

I just finished "The Spanish Armada" by Martin and Parker and was going to reach for something 100 years earlier...maybe I'll go earlier than that.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
