Sources and Lady Godiva

Legg inn av Leo van de Pas » 16 aug 2007 01:50:56

The messages about Lady Godiva are pretty interesting and important (I think). She may well be removed from family trees.

By looking into some aspects I stumbled across "The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" Translated and edited by Michael Swanton.
This book is mainly the translated several chronicles, but at the end are also several family trees. I think (not sure) the index is pretty good, but Lady Godiva does not seem to be mentioned anywhere------BUT she appears in the family trees. I can only believe that the main part of the book is pretty wonderful, but how reliable would these trees be?

Love to hear what people think of this book.

Oh, Nonsense!

"Lady Godiva" is clearly the 26th-34th Great-Grandmother of millions of us.

And that's the end of it.

Leo is just jealous, anxious and itchy because he can't claim her.

There he goes again, trying to impute his own obsessions and motives to
someone else.

Anyone who has even glanced at Leo's database must realise that the scope of
his interest in genealogy is vast, and not focused on his own ancestry. His
approach to the work of recording the truth is always conscientious, and he
clearly does not spoil any of it with cranky Hinesian envy of other people's
ancestors and friends.

I'm sure he doesn't Ray. At some stage in the protracted adolescence of his
life Hines apparently read The Diary of a Nobody alongside the works of
Evelyn Waugh. It's not clear that he has ever read anything else - but he
has unduly admired and conflated the ideas, values and behaviours of Mr
Pooter and Waugh.

He doesn't realise that it takes great literary skill, and imagination that
Hines does not possess, to make such characters bearable, much less
memorable, to readers, and that in the end Waugh himself failed dismally to
live out his assumed persona. _Everyone_ despised him, including the family
& friends who stuck with him to the end, aghast at his foolishness, and most
especially of course himself.
