medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Now, now, Oriens... Mustn't be so Anglocentric. I trust the list will forgive this levity - and the use of Bill's pseudonym. (I'd use the robust Anglo-Saxon for "pseudonym," but don't know what it is.) Last personal and non-medieval religion message - promise!

What was wrong with Old English before the conquest? I prefer the term 'Diluted'. Even today one prefers the good strong manly Anglo-Saxon word-hoard to the feeble, effeminate, louche, degenerate, decadent French vocabulary. I trust all will agree that I speak without bias or lack of objectivity.
