...surely that ain't too much to ask for?

You have already been pulled up short for not even knowing the date of the incredibly important Battle of the Boyne. You also seem to know nothing of the historical import of that battle (a battle which you yourself seem obsessed with...)

You wrote here:

>The Battle of the Boyne, 12 July, celebrating the defeat of the pretender James II and all hope that Britain would be overrun by the Roman church.<

So, sari... you are not aware that the Pope in 1690's champion in this battle was William of Orange? That there was an alliance between the Papal States and the House Of Orange to overthrow the English House of Stuart? That the victory at the Boyne was, in 1690, a victory for the Vatican?

And - if you do not know these elementary facts of history - why on earth are you exposing yourself to common ridicule here at AncientWorlds???
