Hunters create the primary sources, gatherers use that information and
create secondary sources. In my opinion, websites (tertiary sources?) only
reflect what the hunters and gatherers have found. Again, in my opinion,
information from websites, if you want to use them, should be double
checked, either against other sources or the sources mentioned on that
website.
Sadly, Aaron Parmenter behaves like an ankle-biter. Because _he says so_ he
expects, almost demands, that others jump to satisfy his curiosity.
With best wishes

what are you, Vatican Secretary, protector of the faith, in Pope Leo?
if I am idiotic, you are a scruffy puppy nudging Pope Leo's leg. I
cited
websites, and Pope Leo has said they are not sources. Then his
Genealogics
is not a source, is it? So why defend it? And Will Johnson's website
is not
a source, is it? And gen-medieval is not a source, is it? What else
do you
wish to trash as you hound Leo's leg? What is your speaking up for
Leo?
His website is nothing special, as he himself said websites are not
sources.
But it is a poor example of history, too. If Duncan I was killed in
battle between
armies fighting, then he fell as a warrior and was not murdered. How
difficult
is it for your to understand history, Peter?
