If I remember rightly, Edith Pargeter in the Brothers of Gwynedd Quartet has Samson notice it and remark on it, drawing a parallel with shifty behaviour on the part of both kings, as if they were deliberately half-closing their eyes to some of the dodgy things they did or condoned. So if Edward II didn't inherit it, maybe Samson would have considered that it meant he wasn't a hypocrite.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901028520813891575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-57927159404327699792013-05-20T14:51:27.135+01:002013-05-20T14:51:27.135+01:00Most definitely! :-DMost definitely! :-DKathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-19073601189291825462013-05-20T14:50:57.685+01:002013-05-20T14:50:57.685+01:00If Eddie had only known about the finnish sauna I ...If Eddie had only known about the finnish sauna I bet there would've been one right next to that royal cottage.
