Sunday Short Takes

Two more obituaries for Eric Ives were published over the past week:

* The Guardian: Eric Ives obituary – Leading Tudor historian and university administrator known for his books on Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey

* Sydney Morning Hearald: Historian of Tudor treachery – Eric Ives, 1931-2012

Another interesting obituary was caught by my Google news alerts, that of Lady Kinloss, the senior descendant of Lady Catherine Grey.

And the rest of this week’s links:

* Would you have been accused of witchcraft? – Fun quiz from BBC History Extra

* A book I missed in last week’s round-up post: Claire Ridgway of The Anne Boleyn Files has launched her third book, On This Day in Tudor History! (Links go to the paperback versions, but there are also inexpensive Kindle versions you can get to from the links below)

And a few videos for your enjoyment:

More on the re-creation of Henry VIII’s crown for Hampton Court Palace. This has some of the same footage from the news video I posted last month, but has some additional information:

Next up is a lecture at the Stanford National Accelerator Laboratory about their work on the wreck of the Mary Rose. I love it when science and history come together!

And finally, Tudor Kickz – An educational video which advertises the Tudor attractions within Southampton through rap:
