    When trying to follow it I find that each thread you pull on pulls another tangle of misery from the wool basket and yet the whole lot is just two or three balls of wool entwined.

        It doesn't get covered much in school history: the genocide by the Normans.

        They followed a scorched earth policy in North West England because of the resistance. From Manchester up to Cumbria they killed almost everybody. Apparently Cumbria was as well populated as anywhere else in England but has never recovered from that massacre.

        A friend has a copy of the Domesday Book with a modern translation. You can find entries describing entire towns with mills, farm equipment, churches and so on ... but no people or animals. All killed - entire communities.

        Funnily enough, that never came up in school. Perhaps because Europeans don't do racial genocide ... oops, except for ...
