William III A curious question

Recommended Posts

I've often wondered when looking at William III coinage whether he was Jewish, if not, what the hell happened to his nose. It has a hook that even John Stephenson could catch fish on. Anyone know?

He was as orange as you can get and supported Rangers :)

I think John uses his flies and flying condoms (true name for a type of Salmon lure)

Maybe I'm being over-sensitive here, but that seems a tad offensive.

Somewhat, yes. Jews weren't even permitted to enter parliament until 1858, so why would a 17th century monarch be Jewish? You've been on the Dopelbock again Dave.

Errrr no, it was a genuine question, sorry if it was'nt politically correct, i know how people in the UK love being so precise, anyway FYI, my wife is also jewish, so i've nothing against them what so ever and we live in Germany, so we've come a long way since 1939, my apologies if it offended anyone...
