Wonderful posts, FantasyFan, Bookpossum, and Bookworm Girl. I read the book so quickly and distractedly that I am grateful for the elucidation that is preventing it from going right over my head. It is frightening and sometimes ironically humorous that the history of nations and the fate of powerless people are shaped by fallible, foggy individuals.
I just read Ireland by Frank Delaney. He writes that when Queen Victoria traveled to Ireland and saw the Book of Kells, she wanted to sign it. Boggles the mind.
