Hi all,
 
I can see there is a pretty good forum about riddles here. So here are the news. Visit my blog: themysterybay.com and if you solve my riddles I will pay you. It is so simple. However, the riddles are not. So, let's see what you've got.  
My riddles require real knowledge to be solved.
See you.

I found two of the 4 inaccuracies so far; unless possible misspellings count.
* Athelm wasn't Archbishop 'till a few years later (between 925-925)
* Tomatoes weren't available in Europe 'till hundreds of years later.

After a little searching around, it seems that forks would not appear at such a royal feast before the 1600s, which is unfathomable to me.

If "his great hall at Winchester" refers to the remaining great hall of Winchester castle, then it wasn't built until 1222-1235, but I don't see why there might not have been another great hall before.
