We English do not like the French too much, so Cyning changed his name to the Anglo Saxon or Old English meaning for the same thing. ie Cyning means King.<br /><br />Hope this clears up any confusion.Wasphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02601460543424518006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713642.post-27673211704784950722007-08-09T15:17:00.000-05:002007-08-09T15:17:00.000-05:00I would highly recommend making a special trip out...I would highly recommend making a special trip out to the west to meet Cyning! He is that rara avis - the true rennaissance man. He is a highly contagious, driven man, who (as your question ponders) is terribly convincing. Having met him, I would say it is well worth the journey...he is unforgettable.<BR/><BR/>The Heall is it's own beast; fascinating and surreal. Its golden and silver oak is framed marvelously by the intense blue Wyoming sky. Such an odd place to think of an Anglo-Saxon meadhall, and yet, so fitting, nonetheless. <BR/><BR/>As for his name, I think you should give him a ring and ask him! I do believe, with his name, he'd be easy to find :)<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
