Well, I'd certainly look at Pisan since Pisa ruled

too.

Actually everything in the region traded back and

ride with the tidybowl man and never recovered.

You may need to explain that expression!

Corsican, Sicilian, Provencal and perhaps Catalan are

True - Corsican will certainly be an influence. I take your point on the

Your little island is in a volatile area and has
likely had many foreign rulers/overlords. You
probably need to concider Byzantium, Saracens, Pisa,
Genoa, the Kingdom of Sicily, Aragon, France, Naples
at least, up to the 1400's. Any or all of them could
have had profound influence on the history of your
island. How many of them left tongue prints? Only
you can decide.

Now you're scaring me :)
Thanks for the input!
