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?

Here is more on Battle Abbey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Abbey .

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
