RE: An Irish newspaper as an authority on who financed King Billy? You bet. The Northern Irish are very much aware of transpired between Billy and Innocent XI.

What next, you ask? Well, the legitimate sources on this topic are innumerable, but you'll have to do your own homework. Must we, though, endure the further torture of true scholarship attempts in this thread by a catalogue of what YOU deem source-worthy materials? My friend, you must endeavour to eschew such things and resist their appeal even as you wait at the supermarket check-out. The Enquirer, as an outstanding example...could you practice just laughing at the covers, maybe, and stick to buying gum instead?

And if some other "source" tells you P. T. Barnum lies in a sarcophagus under, under, under the Louvre pyramid, don't believe it either, ok? Not true, though some die while waiting in line, I'm sure.
