History Buff Stuff.

This was news to me, although it was probably in all the papers.

I was just reading Medieval Warfare and learned that in 1216 for 16 months the French held about 1/2 of England and Prince Louis was recognized (by the Scots, at least) as King of England.

Long story short, I had never heard of any invasion of England that landed on English soil after 1066, much less one that captured London.
