Noble Friends,
According to the BBC, the stone marking the death site of King Harold
has been moved about 6 meters. The stone marked what was originally
believed to be the location of the Battle Abbey high altar, which modern
research has relocated. Except that the Abbey itself probably never was
on the real battlefield, and a nearby round-about is suggested as more
likely. Read more at http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-sussex-36784485
. Isn't history fun?

Yours Aye,
Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
