TRANSLATION NOTES:
[1] The first name Seymour is derived from the family name Seymour, (famous member’s include Jane Seymour, third wife of Henry VIII) which in turn is derived from the french place Saint-Maur. Given that I could find members of this line whose name was spelled Seymour all the way back in 1340, I left it the same.
[2] Chalmers derives from the French “de la chambre” or “of the chamber”. I decided to localise Chalmers as a probable point in the middle of that transformation. Also “superintendents“ in an educational sense obviously didn’t exist in feudal England, given their lack of state schooling, but “people who quality control other people’s labour“ did, and they were called “overseers“ :D
[3] just a literal translation, think “rapid food cuisine“
[4] wī̆ʒelfulle was a godsend of a find translating this. It means “cunning” or “deceitful”. I was lost finding a translation for devilish because the relatively devout Medieval englishmen did not use the word - or anything similarly hellish in meaning - in any positive sense. Wī̆ʒelfulle derives from wī̆gle, an Old English term describing (paganistic) divination rituals, which survives in current English in the terms “wile” and “wily”. It also sounds evil! :D
[5] After the disaster in this video I didn’t really feel like attempting to sing in a video again. Comment something with “oh great bard” if you want me to attempt again anyway!
[6] Clams as such are native to America and were thus not known to the Angle-Saxons. While they did have various kinds of shellfood, I chose to stick with “clams” given that the term is Middle English in origins, meaning “pincers, clamp”. The shellfish alternative would have been “scalop” - of hopefully obvious definition.
[7] “Hamburgers” were only invented 100 years ago. Given that they seem to be named for the city of Hamburg (not containing any ham as they are) I chose a word that had been used in relation to Hamburg in Medieval times.
[8] “Patent” is actually middle english in origin! Very exciting, i didn’t think so. It used to mean “ a document granting an office”.
