Vide infra pro risibus.

So, we can't even get a scholarly call on who Egbert's ***Father***
was.

I sincerely doubt that Egbert's ancestry can be reliably
reconstructed, as
TK requested.

So, why don't you pogues simply admit that, cease the academic
woolgathering --- and move on?

Stop the posturing.

Tally Ho!
