Welcome, and thanks for your edit. I took out your signature, because Wikipedia articles are unsigned -- but, yes, do add a signature whenever you write on talk pages.

I adjusted the sentence about Walter Map because I wasn't sure why it mattered that he was "a satirist rather than a historian". He was a more-or-less contemporary observer, I think that's what matters, though his view may well be wrong-headed. Incidentally, do you know where he said this? It would be good to give a specific reference in the article if possible. And rew D alby 15:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It's OK, I've found it now and will add the reference. Thanks, because it was your edit that made me look! The crucial Latin word is idiota, but the question is, what exactly did Walter mean by it? And rew D alby  15:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
