Mr. Stewart I believe you may have misunderstood my first comment I just wanted to point out an interesting conjecture about a Capetian and Plantagenet relationship. I did not nean to say it was proved.

I did not nean to say it was proved. Your first comment was perfectly clear - this was: "Christian Settipani has conjectured both the Capetians and the Plantagenets to be male line descendants of Count Hervé of Hesbaye." Since you posted this in the context of a discussion about investigating DNA, the implication is that in your view this conjectured relationship is worth pursuing by DNA investigation, or at least that it may provide some useful hint or guidance. Stating - plainly, as you did - that something has been conjectured, without applying it beyond the immediate context, implies that the conjecture has relevance or value in that context. I questioned you to find out what you think about this, but your response was just to provide links to what someone else thinks. For some reason you choose to post without copying in whatever has prompted your remarks, stripping away the specific context. If you think this particular conjecture is interesting, why not explain the interest you find in it? Peter Stewart
