Thanks, econ21. Still I earlier noticed that the faction shield is different: after looking at the first screen in this thread, you will see that 2 different shield are displayed for the Anglo-Saxons: One is the HRE one with a yellow eagle on a black field, the other one is a yellow dragon on a black field. This of course doesn't have to mean anything, but it adds to my confusion on this point.
