   For the record, I'm not fussy about my pronouns, and "Evelyn" being   
   gender-neutral, I'm used both to mispronunciation (as "EE-va-lin" rather   
   than "EV-a-lin"), and to random pronouns.   
      
   As for not going back a thousand years, I never claimed the poem did,   
   and it skips several "iffy" monarchs (notably Matilda, Eustace, Henry   
   the Young King, Louis the Lion, and Jane).
