The video is a narrative about the creation of a video about Tiffany, the name. The narrator, referred to as Past-Grey, shares their journey of researching the origins of the name Tiffany, which they initially believed to be medieval. They read articles suggesting that Tiffany is an old name, but the sources often didn't contain the name Tiffany at all, but rather the medieval name Theophania or Theophanu.
Past-Grey's journey led them to a poem about Tiffany, which they found in modern writings, but without a date or author attached. This led to a lot of frustration and a determination to find the primary source of the poem. They ordered a book titled "Tiffany's of America," which turned out to be a list of people named Tiffany in America.
The narrator then found a book titled "Richmondshire, Its Ancient Lords and Edifices," which listed the poem as from the author M. Thierry. They tracked down this author, Mr. Augustin Thierry, and found his book "The History of the Conquest of England by the Normans." However, this was not the primary source either, pointing to "Hearne, Praefatio ad Johan. de Fordun, Scotichronicon."
The narrator then found the Scotichronicon in the library, but the poem was not there. They found an earlier edition of the book printed in 1722, which had the poem on page 170. However, the poem was in modern English, not Latin, and the author's name was spelled incorrectly.
The narrator then found a letter by Alexander Pope, a contemporary of Hearne's, which mentioned the Brittany Tiffany poem. This led to further research about Hearne and Pope's relationship. The narrator found that Hearne had made mistakes in his work, including getting the date wrong and ignoring internal evidence.
The narrator then found that the poem's surname was spelled incorrectly in Hearne's edition of the Scotichronicon. They found that the poem was about a woman named Theophania, not Tiffany. The narrator concluded that the poem was not useful for determining the origins of the name Tiffany.
The narrator then thanked the viewers for their time and invited them to become a Bonnie Bee, a supporter of the channel, to help fund future videos.
