Life Herleva's background and the circumstances of William's birth are shrouded in mystery. The written evidence dates from a generation or two later, and is not entirely consistent, but of all the Norman chroniclers only the Tours chronicler and William of Malmesbury, the latter thought to have simply copied the Tours source, assert that William's parents were subsequently joined in marriage.Edward Augustus Freeman,''The History of the Norman Conquest of England: II 2nd Ed. The reign of Eadward the Confessor''. Note U: The Birth of William 1, p. 615. According to Edward Augustus Freeman, the Tours chronicler's version cannot be true, because if Herleva ...

French Cuisine

Culinary tourism and the ''Guide Michelin'' helped to acquaint commoners with the ''cuisine bourgeoise'' of the urban elites and the peasant cuisine o ...
