for
Knowledge. I chose the title under the presumption that the most definitive philosophical character of the modern state is its origin in Enlightenment philosophy - which characterizes the modern conception of the state in both its good points and its bad points - I can see how the article could be perceived as an attack on the Enlightenment because it illustrates a negative aspect of it - although I would be the first to agree that there are many positive aspects, as well. It seems as though there might be two ways to go with it - recast the title and introduction as relating to the modern secular state, without focusing as much on the Englightenment, or restricting the examples to governments more immediately associated with the 18th century thinkers - most obviously the French Revolution, reign of terror, etc. - or maybe doing two separate articles - one on each topic. What are your thoughts on that? --

from my earldom as from my royalty". On page 126 Duncan says "Ethelred and
Alexander were invested in the earldoms of Fife and Gowrie respectively", but gives no evidence. Bannerman ("Macduff of Fife") has since shown that Ethelred was not earl of Fife, and as you say Duncan has now changed his mind about Gowrie. What strikes me is that if Gowrie were a mormaerdom, the Scottish king would have no desmesne land in Scotland-proper that wasn't part of another historically attested comital province, excepting the Mearns, which is very far north, appears to have been a royal forest and was a mormaerdom in the reigns of Domnall III and Donnchad II. He doesn't seem to say anything about Gowrie in the reign of Domnall, so I think I'll just have to assume for now that someone writing between Bower and those Victorian amateur peerage historians made it up.

It was undoubtedly applied with the best of intentions, but has contributed to the loss of a prickly editor who had contributed a considerable amount of work of excellent basic quality, even though much is sorely in need of copyediting. Those who use such tags are understandably defensive, and I'd be grateful if you could consider contributing to

I am working on a couple of writing projects surrounding Ragnar and I'm trying to figure out if Thora was Ingjald's wife (and thus Olaf's mother) or his mother (and thus Olaf's grandmother).

anachronism. "Of
Northumbria" seems to be a simple and clear way to identify all the kings who ruled both the components of the territory during the period, same with Aethelfrith and Oswald, for instance. I don't have a strong feeling about it, but in the past I've favored the "of Northumbria" designation.

Hey Angus, wondering if you know something about
Domnall Bán being "Earl of Gowrie"; the claim occurs in many internet sources, but I've never come across it in any proper sources. Seems to me intrinsically unlikely, as Gowrie was the core province of the medieval Scottish kingdom, containing centers

The only thing of relevance in pp. 164-5 is a citation of himself to p. 156. There he quotes the foundation charter of Scone Abbey where King
Alexander grants a portion "of my oats and my bere and of the cain of my hides and cheeses" from, according to Duncan, the king's manors of Gowrie "as much as

Perhaps the title of the article is the thing that is problematic - I think it is commonly accepted that a number of modern governments have been genocidal or at least engaged in mass executions of those whom they considered threats. It seems that a catalog of such events is an appropriate article

As to Warren, I've been moving quite a few pages on

I don't really have any thoughts except on the first, which I've wondered about previously. I would favor "of Deira", except that it doesn't tell the reader that he ruled
Bernicia as well; "of Northumbria" lets us know that he ruled both, even though the term itself may be an uncomfortably fitting
