Permalink broke my home link?

Hi,

I’m using mod_rewrite for permalinks. Something very odd has happened though, when I added another ‘page’. I have a link in my header (the logo) hardcoded to the home page. Yet somehow I think the rewrite rules are messing with that link – and it becomes a 404 because my hardcoded link is being rewritten.

My site is https://www.crossandthrone.com/ If you do view source you can see the logo with the hardcoded link. The rewrite rules are below – can anyone see what my problem is? I don’t know enough about this to figure it out…
