@caitlinrgreen A large English fleet off the Levantine coast in 1097-9 and another one sailing from England in 1070s? Seems unlikely!
@Dai_James1942 Yet seems to be what occurred..! Don't forget the pull of the centre of the world---the Roman Empire still standing etc! ;)
@caitlinrgreen no Anglo-Saxon chronicle accounts mentioning such massive events?
@Dai_James1942 Goscelin of Canterbury and Ordericus Vitalis both mention it, iirc :)
@caitlinrgreen Most of my medieval History gained from a score or so of prep school History books. Looks as if I must up my game! Thanks!
@caitlinrgreen That's my medieval British History. I'm a bit better on the Lauragais.
