"'It should be noted that if Merewalh was indeed a son of Penda, it is unlikely that he would have been the third son. He was old enough to be given a kingdom in his father's lifetime, whereas Penda left young, possibly not even teenage, sons when he died.'
This author has clearly never played Crusader Kings." — May 19, 2026 01:34PM

“There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping
after failure and moving on. Yet most people are stricken with
fear. They fear failure so much that they fail. They are too
conditioned, too used to being told what to do. It begins with
the family, runs through school and goes into the business
world.”
