What, so all the medieval fighting and raping and pillaging perpetrated by wealthy barons, knights (though never together - terrible version of Matchstick Men might ensue) and other plunderers that went on under reigns of several monarchs and the best we've got is a bloke who, as well as possibly being American, did nasty things to women over a couple of years during a bit of a foggy patch by the Thames??

I'm actually descended from one of the French barons who came over in 1066, we can trace it back all the way on my mother's side.

So I think a bit more respect is called for. And I'll be expecting prima nocte on all the women of course.

Glad I'm Scottish
