  1. Not true..Norwich has never been the capital of England
    It's certainly been one of the biggest and most wealthy Early Medieval cities in the country but never has it been the seat of government..Winchester and York have both been centres of Government at different points in history but not for long and it's overwhelmingly been London..

  2. It may have been the most populated town at one point..
    But as never the seat of government.

    Geezers waffling. Hence why he "doesn't know a great deal about the history" 😂.

  3. it was the second city of the kingdom during the mediaeval period. Due to the wool trade and it's proximity to the Low Countries (remember that transport by river and sea was more efficient than overland) Norwich became very wealthy.

  4. Norwich was never the capital of England, it was the second city due to the wool trade not sure if this man meant that. The only other city that was ever the capital of England to my knowledge was Winchester under the Saxon kings
