The British Aristocarcy over 900 years from feudal obligations of noblemen to the Normans
Kings, who conferred priveges of rank and property in return for armed support. Subsequent monarchs bestowed titles and property on their supporters, establishing new aristorcratic dynasties. The title of “earl” dates from the 11th c, that of “duke” from the 14th c. Soon the nobility began to choose their own symbols, partly to identify a knight concealed by his armor: Thee were often painted on the kinghts armour (hence the term “coat of arms”)
The Brits do Royalty so well…..it’s a source of entertainment and fun for the rest of us….better than a TV show. Don’t get me wrong I love Britain and respect the country more than any other—they have been so much and yet keep going.

Basil Rathbone is my bar none favorite Sherlock Holmes a detective that has fascinated me for long years and yest I know it’s in Black and white—but it really is great with the atmospheric for the dark moors and scenes featuring lurking deadly hound and the fogs and mystic—you can watch it free at sight noted above and if you watch it with an open mind you will see that not everything needs color to be great.
The first Basil Rathbone Holmes was made in 1939 with 20th century Fox and then eventually went to Universal—Rathbone made several more films thru 1947 when he left the series. Rathbone was often the villian playing the Sheriff of Nottingham in Errol Flynn’s Robin Hood and as RIchard III in the Tower of London movie.—so though I might watch and like other Holmes productions he’ll always have my heart for his Sherlock.

“Against the idea of spiritual chivalry was set that of Amour Courtoise or Courtly Love, which successfully mimicked Chivalry. Knights were instucted to devote themselves solely and utterly to a single lady, irrespective of whether she was already married or returned their amrous desires (DOES THAT SEEM A BIT CREEPY TO ANYONE BUT ME) Echoing actual rocceedings,, several ‘Courts of Love’ were set up, in which intellectual noblewomen like Eleanor of Aquitaine, wife of … Henry II who promoted the ‘the discovery of Arthur’s grave at Glastonbury’, and her daughter Marie de Champagne, for whom Chretien wrote his elaborate tales of love, held rials in which the action of lovers of both sexes were judged and punishment meted out according to an elaborate set of rules. These were formalized in a textbook written by Marie’s chaplain Andreas in 1174. The Art of Courtly Love detailed the proper way of approaching or addressing the lady or gentleman of one’s choice and the intricate observances of class, wherby a noblewoman might spak to a man of th middle classes, or a person of higher station addresss one of a lower order. This in turn both influened Chretien in the composition of his Arthrian romances and causd a revolution in the chivalric code behavior throughout the courts of Europe. At its worst Courtly Love became an excuse for adultery; at its best it furthered a new respect, almost amounting to idolatry for women–hitherto little more than chattels“

The historic capital of Devon, a university city, a cathedral city, with museums and theatre. Exeter epitomiss Devon in that its true charm is only revealed when you leave your car. The centre of the city, like so many in Europe, suffered greatly during the war, but bhind the modern HIgh Street and she shopping precincts lies the glorious cathedral set in what is almost a village green overlooked by a delightful miscellany of buildings ranging from the medieval with their charming cobbled courtyards through to Vicorian. The cathedral is one of Englands’s grea architectural masterieces, but equally rewarding in a different way is the Maritime Museum down on the Quay where over a hundred ships and boats from all parts of the wold have been restored and preserved.
