The Norman Conquest of England transformed that island

Eh. England isn't an island!

Well, that gives you some idea of the general level of accuracy :-)

Well quite when there are such big mistakes in the first sentence one
wondrs what is the point of reading any further?

That wasn't the first sentence - it was the trailer! The real first

himself into saying that Edward the Confessor was the son of Canute...

Never got that far :-) Being a Scot the bit I read rubbed me up the wrong
way too much
