You'er wrong, my ancestors had no land claim. They just farmed the land for the king or other ruling elite of the time. They were ignorant farmers for hundreds of years, they did learn the art of battle from the romans. All I was siting was the "Magna Carta"sorry, I didn't include it, hence your confusion. At least your ancestor got a land claim, problem is "William" was truly a bastard, his lies apparently were legendary as well as his ruthlessness no one wants to remember or were at the time to frightened of the boy king.Typical that you change the narrative of your post from how land was taken from your ancestors to "william" being a bad guy. Land that wasn't "theirs" but the kings in the first place.
