Dr. Ad van Kemp First: the B.T. was indeed French, cf. my thesis called Back to Normancy, this year to be published.
Second: the B.T. emerges not only from Norman desire of legitimation of Conquest, but also of Odo's particular desires, i.e. the archbishopric of Cant.
Third: the Norman campaign in Brittany is not a mystery, but part of William and Harolds poker game in Rouen to intimidate each other.		 8/9/2005
