Since I didn’t do a round-up last week, I didn’t get around to posting about the discovery of Sir Francis Drake’s final fleet and the possible resting place of Drake himself. Here are a few of the many news stories that ran about the discovery:
* Sir Francis Drake’s final fleet ‘discovered off the coast of Panama’
Sir Francis Drake’s body ‘close to being found off Panama’
Wrecks that promise to unlock the mystery of Francis Drake’s final resting place
And a few other news items that caught my eye last week:
* Brierfield treasure hunter finds Tudor ring
* Britain’s oldest family business opened when Henry VIII ruled
And finally, Medievalists.net visited the Making History exhibition at the McMullen Museum at Boston College (I mentioned it in a previous Sunday short takes) and recorded an interview with the museum’s director. Tudor history fans will recognize the portrait in the background!
