Medieval English Kings

I think what's affraiding Quetzacouatl is the term English king. I've been into several forum were the English often say half of France was English because English kings owned territories in France. The term English kings for them is abusive because they were Frenchmen (or rather from varios French provinces) who took over England but kept their land in France.  So the term English kings isn't appropriate. Though when we talk about the King of France, French kings is much more relevant. Because the Kingdom of France didn't falled to any foreign invaders.

Originally posted by Dawn With the excepton of Alfred (whom you are not debating as being an english king) all the listed held the Title "King of England" thus they are English kings. The poll was not ment to discuss their heritage but there abilities to rule England - Britannia if you prefer.

King of England and English King are two different concept though. This is a question of semantic.

The hability to rule something (to use the expression here) doesn't mean you are the mentioned thing. Though there is a different thread over it I bet and that's a slighly different topic.

That you posted King of England in your title instead of English king it would have been correct. Afterall Victoria was Empress of India, and Alexander the Great was King of Persia.

Originally posted by Dawn Please lets noy get into semetics of this, English can be a strange launguage, There is nothing wrong with the grammer of the title and to use the term in the way I did is also not incorrect or many other persons (including many books,web pages and encylopedias) are guilty of the same thing. so perhaps we can leave the wording alone( cause I can't change even if I wanted to) and return to the discusion about kings.

Well, I don't know if it's just nervosity or simple mistakes. Though I won't hijack this thread so I'm stepping down here.

I do favor Richard I, because he was a famous homosexual warrior. I am Homosexual, but then again William the Conqueror was really cool.

Richard the Lionheart was also very cruel toward the Gascons.

That's him who forfeited Normandy and Anjou to the French king at his death in exchange of Philip II help against his father.

That's that point Philip II used to confiscate Normandy and Anjou to John I with the support of the pope. Without this, Philip II would have certainly never got Normandy and Anjou.var SymRealOnLoad; var SymRealOnUnload; function SymOnUnload() { window.open = SymWinOpen; if(SymRealOnUnload != null) SymRealOnUnload(); } function SymOnLoad() { if(SymRealOnLoad != null) SymRealOnLoad(); window.open = SymRealWinOpen; SymRealOnUnload = window.onunload; window.onunload = SymOnUnload; } SymRealOnLoad = window.onload; window.onload = SymOnLoad; //-->
