<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 75052, member: 283&quot;]Lol! Empress Maude....what an unholy mixture eh? What a name for a wee bit lassie born in England to a Scottish mother, married at the age of 10 (or was it 11?) to Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor. Doesn&#039;t sound particularly `holy&#039; to me but my, how societal mores change. No point in `waltzing&#039; around Matilda though. She had rightful claims......<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>erm....while some may claim that the Auld Alliance existed as early as 1165, the earliest documentary evidence of such an alliance is a treaty signed by Philip IV (Le Bel) and John Baliol in 1295. That is, well outwith time frame of OP&#039;s stated interests.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
