Sunday Short Takes

I’m going to put the three non-Richard III stories at the top, so all of you who are tired of that story can just skip the rest of the post. 🙂

* Shoulder of wren with salad: diets and debt in Elizabethan England – Interesting article on the UK National Archives blog about a draft letter by Elizabeth I

* Fit for a king – Article by Jonathan Foyle (who is a fun follow on Twitter!) for the Financial Times about an extraordinary bed

* BBC2 builds on Richard III frenzy with Tudors season – So if I’m reading the article correctly, Thomas Penn will be doing a documentary on Henry VII? Yay!

And now for more Richard III stories! I’ve chosen some more articles that came out after my initial round-up that I found particularly informative.

* The Search for King Richard III – The Scientific Outcome – YouTube video of Monday’s press conference

* Who, What, Why: What is the method for reconstructing Richard III’s face? – Information on the methodology of reconstructing Richard’s face from the skull

* Reconstructing Richard III
