Alison Weir is a top notch historian. I read this book and am now reading The Children of Henry VIII and plan to read her other books on the Tudor period ... she has several, which you can find on this page.

Yay! I want to see this.

Quoted: Visit this fascinating permanent exhibition exploring the stereotypes that have over shadowed the true characters and stories of Henry VIII, Cardinal Wolsey and Katherine of Aragon for centuries.

I also don't care about the slab of Stilton. It's a small sacrifice for my Personal Irony Theshold to make in order to enjoy Cate Blanchett's 'white-hot glow'.

Quoted: Elizabeth : The Golden Age (Universal) is a great hulking slab of English cheese, Stilton perhaps, or Wensleydale. It's one part historical melodrama, two parts bodice-ripper ...

Interesting!

Quoted: Extensive preparation was applied to bodies from prehistoric Scotland.

So excited about this movie. The first Elizabeth movie was amazing. Opens October 12--seems like a good theater movie. So epic and all ...

Quoted: Elizabeth: The Golden Age on IMDb: Movies, TV, Celebs, and more...

More on The Tudors...I haven't seen the word "hottie" in a headline since my days at The Snoqualmie Valley Record. :)

Quoted: Henry VIII is coming back to the throne. And this time, he’s bloody gorgeous. Showtime’s epic 10-part miniseries, “The Tudors,” holds court starting at 10 p.m. EDT Sunday, with Jonathan Rhys Meyers cast as the unlikely lead.

Ooh, I love this time in history. I can't read enough about it. I can't wait to see this!!!!!

Quoted: The Tudors only on Showtime - Watch Season 1 of The Tudors featuring Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Henry 8.
