Such is my ignorance :) I am quite unaware of English history but fully realise the dramatics depicted on the show should be viewed with scepticism. Is it a case of too much artistic licence?Shermeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384194652817129727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-52162868807748295462009-09-02T16:27:58.643-07:002009-09-02T16:27:58.643-07:00Hmm, Michele, I certainly know who I would like to...Hmm, Michele, I certainly know who I would like to see arraigned on a charge of high treason-Gordon Brown and Peter Mandelson. :-) <br /><br />Aaagh, “The Tudors”! The drama might be good, well,reasonable, Shermeen; the history is terrible. Still, anything that interests people in the period is all to the good. <br /><br />Thank you, RTK. :-) Some of the posts you see here, I have to say, are pieces that I have written elsewhere, for Wikipedia and the like. I’m just centralising them. There are indeed pressures on my time but I will try to keep up a steady pace. I only spend about an hour a day on blogging and it helps to sharpen my thought process.Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-15710220839762219752009-09-02T11:53:30.777-07:002009-09-02T11:53:30.777-07:00Anastasia,
Since discovering your blog - which, I...Anastasia,<br /><br />Since discovering your blog - which, I would add, is now an enjoyable daily read,I have been increasingly astonished at your prodigious output.<br /><br />Always bearing in mind that we are still in the university summer holidays, can I assume that your posts will reduce in number come the first week of term?<br /><br />And quite how do you find the time for lacrosse, tennis, horse riding, art and philosophy, too?<br /><br />I'm exhausted simply reading about it...This Royal Throne of Kingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847832884947135086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-85309945438293603912009-09-02T09:01:51.202-07:002009-09-02T09:01:51.202-07:00Thanks for another lesson in English history.

You will probably be appalled to know that I read this juxtaposed alongside the BBC serial 'Tudors'.Shermeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384194652817129727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-64971391189513833512009-09-02T01:22:39.619-07:002009-09-02T01:22:39.619-07:00While burning didn't help Mary it certainly se...While burning didn't help Mary it certainly set the scene for a triumphant Elizabeth. <br /><br />Coming closer to home there are one or two politicians i would be willing to see at the bar of the house on a charge of treason. Any ideas who?Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09117510718604467580noreply@blogger.com
