@irrpfad @GrayGray83 >so not Victorian pseudo-science... However, the desire to check lies behind recent sending for DNA testing :)
@caitlinrgreen @GrayGray83 Thank you. First Palestine Crusade mid-late 11thC, so, as someone else here noted, a possible place of origin?
@irrpfad @GrayGray83 Various possibilities, poss earlier than that tho'--the thesis gives some suggestions. DNA results may help!
@caitlinrgreen @irrpfad (Happy NY, by the way). Æthelmær (Bishop) lost see to a papal legate 1070 - might she have come with the latter?
@GrayGray83 @irrpfad If I recall correctly, dating of grave is to early 11thC, so prob not, I fear! Also, not only such grave in Norfolk :)
@GrayGray83 @irrpfad and, yes, Happy New Year to you too!
