I will enthuiastically agree...Thanks for the contextual information...I
have never been able to put my finger on the chronology...this analysis is
very interesting/thoughtful.

I don't really follow the historical context...I guess my creations are a
reflectin of a parallel dimension that never crawled out of the dark ages...

Regarding The Wolfpack...
Weren't highwaymen and bandits often referred to as "wolf's head" after
1066? Wolves were viewed by lore and myth as theives, or blood thirsty
predators. People such as robbers and poachers were compared to these
animals for the nature of their crimes. Ironic, since Europeans hunted many
species of wolf to extinction during this time period and they were hardly seen.
Had to let that little tidbit fly before that set of brain cells died...lol
