GUEST,Les/ Manchester uk BS: The Royal Family Part 2 (35) RE: BS: The Royal Family Part 2 19 Nov 01

Part of the myth of the royal family (clearly bogus because they Jim and real Royal Family live in Wythenshawe, Manchester) is that they can be traced backwards into English/Scottish history and give some kind of legitimacy to a single concept of Englishness or something.

What is much more interesting is the web of royal families that have inter-married and shared power & wealth across Europe for a very long time.

I suppose the full family tree would be a bit big but what I picture of trans-national greed & corruption it would be. This kind of tree has been done for 10,000 versions of Fairport Convention so who's up for the big picture?
