re: #394 Higgs Boson’s Mate

Ah. Not much of a reader of English history past the Spanish Armada so I didn’t know. I did read a bit about Edward VIII and Wallace Simpson. I believe that one of the objections at the time (This was in the mid-1930s) was that it would be inappropriate for Edward, as the head of the C of E, to be married to a woman twice divorced. My late father was 16 years old when Edward abdicated so the how-it-was of that era is nearly as remote as the how-it-was of ancient Rome to me.

I’ve never heard of any other woman with the name of “wallace”
