Depending on what sources you read their were others but Rahn was the closest model. But just in case that's why I added the word "ironic" since Rahn worked with the SS/Nazis. Boo-hiss. There is a fascinating story and mystery surrounding him - well worth a read.
Good job pawiz - your turn.
What was the most common surname in England in the year 1000?
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

Did they have surnames then? I thought the French brought that along with William the Conqueror.

After i posted i looked it up cause you had me so confused. I found a source that indicates there were a few English surnames before 1066 - even before 1000, but no list. They did give an example of one I can't remember - not a common name today.
OK, shit. I don't have a question ready. Well, I was watching a show on the History Channel a week or so ago about how they tried to steal Lincoln's body. Anybody remember how many times they moved and/or reburied it after the theft attempt? How about the year it finally came to rest?
I never even knew about it until i saw that show. Weird. What a great country.
