Wikipedia Trails: Starbucks to Bow-legged

Starbucks Logo Wikipedia

So I started off with Starbucks. Mainly because I was drinking a Starbucks coffee while doing this assignment. But when The company was first found the three owners wanted to name it after the chief mate in Moby Dick which led me to Peqoud. (Link)

Peqoud is the fictional ship in the book Moby Dick. It is described to be made of whale bone that the ship has hunted. This ship was a well wore ship. It comes to a part where it describes the way it's deck were worn and wrinkled comparing it to the way the "pilgrim worship flag stood in the Canterbury Cathedral."(Link)

Which led me to the Canterbury Cathedral. This cathedral is located in Canterbury or Kent. It is the oldest and most famous Christian cathedral that currently stands in England. The thing that stood out to me was this cathedral involved the murder of archbishop Thomas Becket by King Henry II Knights. Becket was killed in his own Cathedral. This led me to King Henry II. (Link)

King Henry the II was a ruthless leader and a ruler of many lands. The titles he held were Count of Anjou, Count of Maine, Duke of Normandy, and many more the thing that stood out to me was his appearance. he was a red head, with a large head. His body was short and stocky with bow-legged. (Link)

This left me with the definition of what being bow-legged means.  Which is a "physical deformity marked by bowing of the lower leg in relation to the thigh." (Wikepeida)


I think its interesting that I started off with Starbucks and ended with Bow-legged. It's very interesting the trail this took me on.
