...works of Aristotle, even a scene showing Caesar receiving a German ambassador. Since the miniatures were never exposed to light as much as ordinary paintings, they furnish an especially vivid record of the medieval mind. One can almost hear the dogs yelping in the boar hunt of Louis Malet, Sire de Graville and Grand Admiral of France. The golden Flagellation, done around 1350, shows the medieval struggle with the problems of perspective, while the exquisite Crucifixion, painted nearly a century later by an artisan in the workshop of the master of the Rohan Hours, has a deep landscape background with...
...sort of compelling distinction that Siobhan McKenna and Colleen Dewhurst and very few others can command. On this level Miss Howard simply hasn't got it, but she is a competent actress with a splendid pair of shoulders. Lee Henry is similarly undefinitive but competent as Ultimate Evil. Arthur Malet cannot quite fit his occasional moments of menace into the prevailing pixyishness of his interpretation, but his picturesque, toothless old jailer is an exquisitely professional...

And only three can prove male descent from the Companions of William the Conqueror in 1066: Malet (or Mallet or Mellat), Giffard, and De Marris. Even King George VI's Saxon descent is through the female line; about 100,000 living Britons can claim legitimate descent from such royal ancestry. Pine calls Edward III (1312-77) the crossroads of British genealogy. Says he: "If you have...
