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.

This weeks knight of the week: "The Knights of Fuchsburg" - The Fuchs (Fox) family are mentioned as knights dating back to 1190. Knight Ulrich Fuchs acquired the castle of the same name, in Tyrol, in 1267.  The name would later emerge as a noble family with great influence.

In 1345, Knight Otto Fuchs added the Leuze castle to the estate. In 1426, the Lebenburg castle was inherited by the family. Knight Dietrich I Fuchs was nade governor of Walburg in 1404, and governor of Hassfurt in 1406. He was co-founder of the Knights Hassfurter about the same time. Hans Fuchs was made a knight in 1493 and was lord of several estates and in 1500 was a member of the Imperial Diet under Emperor Maximillian I. Knight Degan I Fuchs (1450-1527) was governor of Fuchsburg. Hans and Georg Fuchs were made knights in 1456. In 1508, Knight Thomas Fuchs acquired Schneeberg, Tiefenbach and Winkarns castles and in 1551, castle Frauenstein was added to their estates. Emperor Karl V authenticated Thomas Fuchs to the Reichstag of Worms in 1521. Knight Hildebrand Fuchs made a polgrimage to Jerusalem. In 1550, Jakob Fuchs was listed as a knight. Knight Gotz Fuchs was a commander in the Order of the Teutonic Knights. Fuchs von Baunach and Fuchs von Bimbach were Free Imperial knights.

Thank you all for your concern. I'm feeling better, but am going through a rough time right now...hard to explain.

Time for a little humor...
This week's Knight if the week: "The knights who say: 'Ni'" - HISTORY: The knights of Ni have been tortuing the people of England with their words for as long as anyone can remember... REQUIREMENTS: You must love shrubberies, Do not be afraid to say "Ni"; You cannot say the word "it" ...RULES: Do not say it backwards, Be nice to shrubberies, Payment is always a shrubbery commemorating another shrubbery, Do not associate with the knights who were formally Ni, Only cut down trees with herrings; Honor thy shrubbery.

Shrubberies are of great omportance to the knights who say Ni and they constantly seek the bush to gaze at. They have not yet found the holy relic, but they have come close. It has been speculated that the knights respect the shrubbery as it represents the most intimate contact in which a man came in contact with a bush.

The Knights who say 'Ni' was formed in 987. They are on a quest to find The Great and Almighty Shrubbery and consider this journey the meaning of their lives. After discovering the powerful uses of the word 'Ni', the Knights who say 'Ni' have used the sacred word to make people bring them shrubberies. The word 'Ni' when repeated 10 times in a row makes the listener explode! The knights of 'Ni' cannot say the word 'It', nor can they bear to hear the word. The knights are led by a man who is approximately 12 feet tall with disproportionately short arms and reindeer antlers inserted into his helmet. The other knights are of regular proportions and wear horns in their helmets.......comploments of Monty Python.

That's a great one, Sir John. I never expected it.

Good luck in dealing with, and getting through, whatever is going on.
