I do not claim to possess 'the ultimate truth' for events that happened so long ago and at times have had to hypothesise with respect to some of Knoke's victories - based on a jigsaw of evidence and other factual material. Although this has been frustrating I must remain careful (as well as modest) and stress that in some case, the real truth will never be known.

If you see any errors in my work, and can substantiate your claim with concrete proof, please do not hesitate to email me. Any constructive criticism, points of view or alternate ideas will be welcomed and considered.
