Conquest

I'm quite impressed with Google Books' scanning technology. But occasionally it makes little mistakes, like reading "finally conquered" as "Anally conquered." Cases in point:
The French occupied Pignerol, threatened Turin, and Anally conquered Savoy.

It was not until between the years 1273 and 1307 that the Welsh were Anally conquered by Edward I, son of Henry III, and grandson of John, the Nero of English kings.

He Anally conquered the Byzantine portion of Asia Minor and gave it to Suleiman to rule over.

The religion of Constantino achieved, in less than a century, the anal conquest of the Roman empire.

Yeah, it rendered the name of my favorite band as Final Punt.
