I'd like to see a series about for example, MacBeth who was much besmirched by Shakepeare though he ruled for 17 years; the entire Norse period; the Border Reivers! So much excellent Scottish history and stunning landscape.

Why don't the Musketeers use muskets? Dunno. Presumably the same reason most dragoons don't actually use a dragon no fusileers a fusil and grenadiers aren't the only ones using grenades?
France? Why not, after all we were allies for 300 years.
As to the difference between those at the top in a Kingdom or a Republic - you couldn't slide a sheet of A4 between the two

I think you will find the Border Reivers is as much about English history as Scots. I'd love to see a good series about how we English gave the Scots a good drubbing, going over the border to steal their men, beat their women and ravish their cattle....or something like that.

Yeah, quite enjoyed it.

Anyone notice at the end (when they show next weeks snippet) that Porthos was aiming his pistol (matchlock, flintlock whatever) with the wrong eye closed???

Really worried that we didn't see the king's model ship. Do you think the part work has finished?

Still had the same chance of hitting something, though....

Keep trying to explain this to my wife...she may be getting a little bord with: "wouldn't be that accurate."

I did mention to the wife that  the powder they used wasn't correct , some of the buckets the peasants used were of the wrong  diameter....  These bruises I have were caused by falling down the stairs a few times
