I am now getting old and am finding I have less time and energy to expend on Wikipedia. So I am likely to check my watchlist rather less often. However, if anyone sends me a message on my talk page, I shall be sent an email notification.

Stepping back further
As I grow older, I become less able to cope with the unreasonable people who try to force their particular prejudices on the rest of the Wikipedia community and I have backed off from some of the arguments going on here. However, if you are one of my long-standing contacts and wish to talk to me about something, feel free to get in touch.

I am Frank Lynwood and I live in the Surbiton Park[1] area of Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom. My background is in Romance linguistics (French, Iberian), but I have long been interested in the juxtaposition of languages of different groups in areas such as Wales, Alsace, Istria and especially the Low Countries.
This image has been added as a pretty space-filler! In 1349 Philip VI of France acquired the Dauphiné of Viennois from the bankrupt Humbert II, the last independent Dauphin. Philip awarded it to his grandson, who eventually became Charles V (not the Emperor, who lived in the 16th century). Thereafter the title was passed down to each new heir to the French throne until the Revolution. It was briefly revived in the 19th century.
