MORE HISTORY

The schools and the curriculum are denying our children access to their national identity by focusing on the recent past (important thought it is). We need to look so much further back, to beyond the Medieval, beyond the Norman Conquest, beyond the Romans to the world of our forefathers. The names, the stories the people who lived and loved in the very very past.

Let me throw this name out there, Eleanor of Aquitaine.....a real Queen of England... Duchess of the Aquitane, wife of Henry II, one time wife of the King of France, Crusader, mother of Richard I, King John.....who was the woman who over saw justice and I do mean justice.....let us understand what really happened.
