Mostly in the Norse lines, there are birth dates, but not death dates very often. The farther back we go into the genealogy, the harder it is to fix dates, partly due to the fact that most people were illiterate, unless one was in a royal house, and the fact that there were no standardized calendars, so dates had to be reckoned by current events.

My Scandanavian lines are mostly found after the Plantagenets, so dates are not necessarily accurate.

But it’s an interesting story, for sure, and I’ll keep my eyes open for it.

Thanks thanks.

The author has a lot of outlandish things to say.

This one just seemed somewhat confirmable, or not.
