"That's why we start with "Who wrote it?"."
An impossible question Harry and getting more so as time passes.
Far easier to ask "who does it represent"
Jim Carrolll
Establishment and Official history represents the establishment point of view. French Establishment history represents the French government at the time it was written,   English establishment history represents the English government at the time it was written., AND YETCAN THEY CONTRADICT EACH OTHER THUS MAKING THEM UNRELIABLE
My Nephew went to school first in England and then in France, AND DISCOVERED that they both had won the same wars, the conclusion to this that Establishment history is unreliable
Folk History IS RELATED BY THE PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE, and who do not have a vested interest in using it as government propoganda, and in my experience is less unreliable than the Establishment official history.
