I’m clearing out all the articles that I have saved over the past couple of weeks and dumping them all into this post:
* Debunking the Myth of Lady Jane Grey
* Mary Rose Trust photos on Wikipedia
Mary Rose Trust releases photographs onto Wikipedia
Unseen Mary Rose pictures revealed in groundbreaking Wikipedia deal
* Exhibition features documents suggesting Shakespeare was Catholic
Shakespeare was a ‘secret Catholic’ new exhibition shows
* Greenwich to become a Royal Borough in 2012
This honors its long connection with the English and British monarchy (lots of Tudor connections there!). The other Royal Boroughs are Kensington and Chelsea, Kingston upon Thames, and Windsor and Maidenhead.
Greenwich Becomes Royal Borough
Queen to grant Greenwich Royal Borough status for Diamond Jubilee
* Catch up on “The Tudors”
Season Three is now available on iTunes (this link goes to the Showtime site, which has a link to the iTunes store)
Unfortunately I didn’t see it in time for the first episode, but Showtime is replaying all of the previous seasons in a lead-up to the season 4 premiere in April. Here’s a link to the schedule.
And finally…
* 2010 sees the 450th anniversary of the refoundation of Westminster Abbey
The history of Westminster Abbey, London – The coming year is the 450th anniversary of Elizabeth I
If I am correct in assuming that the Roy Strong who wrote this article in Country Life, the most upmarket magazine of them all, is Sir Roy Strong, former director of both the NPG & the V&A, all I can say is – Oh dear!
.
Those were my thoughts as well. There is enough confusion with Marys in Tudor history – no need to add another!
