This is just one example that proves Henry was right when he said that "History is more or less bunk!", meaning that so-called historians are not factual. They leave facts out, embellish some events. and totally change the what, when, and where. Like in school in the '50's we were taught that "Columbus discovered America". Nothing was said about the Vikings. And so on.
Same with this story; "Historians" fabricating stuff out of thin air. Or repeating what they heard in a bar somewhere.
