Knight of the week
SirNathanQ:
Sir Vulf is the history Nazi here, I'm gonna go with his story ;)
Sir John of Felsenbau:
Well, I stand by the idiom: history is written by the winners... Think about how Christ was tortured on the cross. I think the whole timeline was bad, not just one specific person. Even later with the witch burnings in the US. Then there's the death penalty...first it was by hanging...not a quick way to die. We have come far but not far enough.
