For example, the author gave a birth date of 846 for Rollo of Normandy, which is absurdly early, and shows apparent ignorance that some such dates are undocumentable, as for example, the strangely spelled (and hardly well documented) "Harthacnu I, King of Denmark (880-936)." The fact that Wikipedia is a major source is also a big red flag. Some of the videos you pointed out in your other response look interesting, but they are time-consuming. I am hoping to find more material of this type in peer-review journals (or at least something approaching that quality). Stewart Baldwin
