@Setanta,
I don't believe your excuses. E.g. the remark about Edward being an uncommonly intelligent English king was uncalled for, or rather, it was only called for because you were saying something nice about an English monarch, so you just HAD to compensate by spitting at all English kings in the same breath...
That most English kings were stupid is of course an American cliché, stemming from their war of independence, and used in countless Hollywood movies. Nothing to see with history.
