[ANSTHRLD] Just gotta gloat... _My Ancestors Came with the Conqueror_...

[Luciana Caterina di Boniface]

I am gloating....yes, I definately am....I went to Half-Priced Books, to
pick up a couple of the 'must have' books to add to my personal collection.
There I was, looking over the rather skimpy row of books to see if there was
anything new, when a childish-looking book caught my eye.

I am SO glad that I looked at it, because it ended up being a compilation of
the names (noblemen/knights, most likely) of people who followed William the
Conqueror to Brittain to fight in the Battle of Hastings. There are about 8
different resources documented for this list, the names and variations of
their spellings are arranged alphabetically, and each name is notated with
it's source.

Several hundred Norman names that are placed in the 11th century as being in
both France and Brittain.....I am a happy camper.

That is all, :)
Luciana
