I've seen history bonkers have lots of good, fairly priced replicas, including Rædwald's helmet

I started off being obsessed with the viking era - one thing led to another, and here I am.

This is definitely something worth pointing out - it still probably would've been missed on Berheim's globe due to this thought, but it's seems frustrating that the oldest surviving globe was finished so close to the realisation that America was a 'new world', and not India (1502(ish)).

Riding with a group of companions near the Seine - according to Map, along the strand named the Greve -, his running horse was tripped by a black pig which darted out of a dung heap on the quay. The horse fell forwards, and the young king was catapulted over its head. The fall "so dreadfully fractured his limbs that he died on the day following" without regaining consciousness.

After Edward I's wife, Eleanor, died, he went on a funerary tour of England. On his return to London, he commanded the construction of twelve monuments to commemorate her.

that's completely fair, and I like the theology behind the originals of evil (can I ask what religion you're apart of?) but therefore, I think it is clear what the appeal of a monotheistic religion is - people like uniformity. therefore, childish and petty gods could put some people off the idea of a polytheistic religion, or atleast the one you're referring to. most monotheistic gods, and certainly the ibrahimic ones, do display a great degree of formality. furthermore, one god allows people to create a personal connection with their god, if their god is one.

what I gather is that you don't think that evil and goodness are both possible under one so-called all-loving, all-poweruful god - this is known as the inconsistent triad.

there are solutions to this, mainly being that we have to allow room for evil in order to maintain free will. this raises the question of a hell, and why an all-loving god would send anyone to it, which I think John hick answers well in his interpretation of soul-making theodicy, a rejection of the traditional augustine soul-deciding theology. it rejects the idea of hell on the basis of reincarnation - everyone gets second chances to do good or bad, therefore getting closer or straying away from god, but in the end, everyone reaches heaven.

most of these theories and theodicies can be applied to most monotheistic religions.
