Well being King of England, Duke of Normandy, Aquitaine and Gascony; Lord of Cyprus; Count of Poitiers, Anjou, Maine, and Nantes; and overlord of Brittany must have been rather time consuming. And the weather’s better in France.

[Zacs-Master]

There is nothing odd about this. Looking back at historical facts like this shows how life was in the distant past.These days we live by more modern standards and this would not happen now.
