His wisdom was of "sulphuric quality"? What the hell does that mean?

Was wondering that myself. "Sulphuric" would seem to indicate that it reeked of brimstone — as in traditional descriptions of Hell — which nothing else in the article seems to suggest. Smerdis of Tlön 15:00, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm guessing because sulphur smells like crap, it means that he had crappy wisdom. The article does kinda describe him as eccentric. After all, he could be learned but not wise at all. -Alex, 12.220.157.93 08:51, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

So, did this motherfucker have a father? What's up? --Sean Gray 04:48, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Forget it. His father was Ferdinand III. I'll add that in now. --Sean Gray 04:51, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Blackmore's Night performs a song titled "Fires at Midnight" (on the album of the same name) and introduce it on a live album (Past Times and Good Company) by saying the song was written by Alfonso X. Not sure if that's enough of a cite to merit inclusion. Aapold 06:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
