I want to know more about Beauchamp Plantagenet , but there’s nothing even on Wikipedia. The Plantatagnet’s were the royalties of England started by William the conqueror. It is clear to me that Beauchamp aimed to be the William the conqueror of America. This is such overlooked history.

I did not know his family went back to William the Conqueror. Unfortunately, I could find little outside of his writing.

The British royalist needed to devise schemes to exert absolute dominance over their colonies, it’s still that way today. Divide and conquer is their tried and true favorite, in thousands of iterations. The lure of fantastic wealth is their favorite bait.

William the conqueror is my 23rd great grandfather.

@@danielbarth3559 I think the next time we are going to see a good example of this is in New England during the Restoration.
