Fancy that.
Agreed...We watched the same programme? Fancy that.<br /><br />Agreed on all points, Mad. And yes, it is odd that the lad who signed the paper for Cromwell never (as far as we know) retracted. Could he have been denied the opportunity in some way? As Ms Glampot said, 'we shall never know.' <br /><br />She certainly dispelled the 'dumb blonde' myth, didn't she? When I first saw her I wondered whether she'd been trotted out as a bit of token glamour for PR purposes (I'm suspicious of the media as I'm suspicious of nearly every institution.)

I didn't buy the argument (I believe put forward by the other female historian?) that it's an easy step to take from "Wouldn't it be nice if Henry were to die" to "Let's kill him," or the idea that if one's husband fails to impregnate one with a male child, one's brother makes an obvious alternative. I did wonder why one of the men accused of sleeping with Anne confessed, though. Did he think it would save his life, was he being tortured, or was he telling the truth?Madelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506747179368082399noreply@blogger.com
