    Nah Cromwell was cool the Covenanting movement was split up by that point, him and his New Model Army crew were with the Kirk Party (against the Engagers), which IMO were more in line in keeping to the National Covenant/Solemn League and Covenant.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    .....It's at times like this I'm very happy with the Union with Denmark....

    It's quite easy to learn the Norwegian history when it's just king dies->danes take over->swedes take over->modern times. None of this dynastic and revolutionary sillyness....

    speaking as a monarchist; i don't give a damn........................

    .........although it will be highly entertaining to watch the legions of lefty republicans agonise and moralise and posture over every second of the endless tv coverage of the wedding for the next year.

    normally it is not considered nice to laugh at torture, self-inflicted or otherwise, but in this instance I think i will make an exception.

    I want to marry a royal
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Are you sure you are royalty?

    An ancestor of yours having sold the lands of your tribe to the British in exchange for some trinkets and a few dollars does not mean you are royalty. That he and the other headmen of the tribe signed a treaty with 'Queen Victoria' does not imply they are her equal, nor even, perhaps, that he was a sovereign.
    I must confess I am not aware of sovereignity in tribal North America. Is there a sovereign to every tribe? Hereditary? Combined with title to territory?


    I myself am no doubt descended from Charlemagne, but that does not mean I'm emperor. I must have countless Gaul chieftains as my ancestors, who all signed away their lands to Caesar. This does not mean that I'm Celtic royalty and that my family dealt with Roman Emperors on an equal footing.
