The person refers to Edmund Crouchback, when no such person ever
existed. His name was Edmund, no Crouchback. The Crouchback part is
an old myth.

--------There never was a person who called himself Charlemagne
--------There never was a person who called himself William the Conqueror
--------Geoffrey of Anjou never called himself Geoffrey Plantagenet
--------Edward, Prince of Wales, son of Edward III, never called himself
'the Black Prince'
--------John of Gaunt should never (even after his life) have been called of
Gaunt, as the place he was born was Gent/Ghent/Gand
and no doubt there are many more people who afterwards were given names we
now Identify them with.

If you object to one "nickname/identifier" which history and genealogy have
adopted, you should object to all, you cannot be selective.
