Eh? Haven't you heard of the Battle of Hastings?

That's when the Normans took over. Since then we've variously had further French, Dutch and German monarchs. The Saxe-Coburgs have less relation to Alfred the Great than probably half of the population.

Most of those were feudal illegitimates who only cared about how much money the serfs could generate for them.
Fair points but going right back it appears the Celts were the original conquers of England . I agree  with you in that there were ancient rulers who  were abusers of power however you did get some that were decent people it seems notably Alfred the Great.

Exactly. The Glorious Revolution is bizarrely neglected from British history. I wonder why?

And the best example of the feudal system is the words to verse 3 of “All Things Bright and Beautiful”…

The rich man in his castle,
The poor man at his gate,
God made them, high or lowly,
And ordered their estate.

Rough translation: stick in your lane scum!
