      do you think it detracts from your admiration of the narrator's annunciation by describing it so unimaginatively as "ridiculous"? could you not pause to think of a more traditional and appropriate adjective ??

    Wonderful docco. William suffered from the hunger for power, like other characters before, since and to this day. I don’t really understand it but it’s definitely a part of our makeup.

      I think that the fact that he was an "illegitimate" son of the Norman ruler contributed to William's striving for achievement (overachievement) in order to 'more than prove' his 'legitimacy' imo. G Ire

      A great deal of European Monarchs are his direct descendants through multiple lines. These include Louis IV, Frederich the Great, Kaiser Wilhelm 1 & 2, Tsar Nicholas II, Franz Ferdinand and all of the British monarchs till date. That's quite a lot for someone who was called a Bastard.

    Memory UNLOCKED. Speaking of bastard son... I remember my one friend, i had a long time ago, it was in the 2000. He was born outside of marriage, we got in a fight and i called him a bastard, we were both the same age, young adults. I did know of the term but not sure if i knew the details, i dont think i knew it was meant for a son born out of wedlock, i just knew back then for some reason they called some 'astard sons' , i assumed it meant lazy, or good for nothing.. Anyways he ended the friendship over this. I thought it was the most stupidest reason to end it, over an old outdated term of it no one has used in a million yrs.
