Historical myths
Post your historical myths here, and what do you think about them....
And questions also...
I found in one book, evidence that suggest that the great leader of Moldavia, Stephen the Great and Saint, was a Templar Knight.... Did the Templar Knights arrive in Romania?!

Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Re: Historical myths
Mine is that the medieval eastern Roman empire was ever called the Byzantine empire, which it never was. It bugs me to no end. I'm going to invent a time machine find the historian that started this incorrectness and kill him.

The myth about the middle age man thinking that the earth is flat.
First mentioned 1828.
It annoyes me.
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

Do you mean St Stephen the Great King of Hungary, he was the one who Christianised the Magyars and was annointed as first King of Hungary.I found in one book, evidence that suggest that the great leader of Moldavia, Stephen the Great and Saint, was a Templar Knight.... Did the Templar Knights arrive in Romania?!
I have never heard of a Stephen the great of Moldavia.
