Thank you both, John and Nat, for such an enlightening
exchange that is fascinating.

Having done a bit of research on some Plantaganet ancestors
and descendants, it seems to me that they were quite the
explorers/adventurers ... were often, if not the first, then
early, settlers to new found lands ... building churches and
government buildings, establishing governments and the
machinery thereof.

As I read the explanations by each of you, it made me think
of how they 'planted the seeds of civilization' in England,
southern Italy, America, Canada and so on.
