I am assuming everyone else knew that the T. E. Lawrence who wrote Crusader Castles is also known as "Lawrence of Arabia?" Or did someone forget to tell me!
Synchronicity! I had the same issue in my Crusades course last week. Someone was going on about T.E. Lawrence and all the English majors looked at one another puzzled. I took one for the team and asked "...erm...who?" Of course, when the prof said "Lawrence of Arabia" we all felt like asses. Obviously, we know who *that* is...palm/face.
Heh. I had no clue and I am allegedly an expert in the Crusades. I say allegedly, because how can one be an expert without knowing that Larry of Arabia was T.E. Lawrence?
