Have you read Amin Maalouf's "The Crusades through Arab eyes"? I found it a very readable history

Cheers
Ian

I'll second that ! Great book !
Amin Maalouf is one of the greatest writer in french, I hope the english translation is fine.

Is that the one that upset TMP before Christmas?  That was an awful lot of sound and fury.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Or, for the New Worlders here, a LOOTenunt. The term originated in the American forces because newly-promoted junior officers took an inordinately long time enjoying the comfort of the far superior officers' latrines, and were thus derisively nicknamed loo tenants.

Your etymology sounds entirely plausible but breaks down a bit when you consider we don't call them loos (or looi?)
We call them cans, johns (English origin?), or several other things, some even accompanied by sound effects.

A Johntennant would be named after an Australian bushranger. (Apparently)
