* A couple of portraits of Tudor interest are up for auction at Sotheby’s next week, including this copy of a portrait of Jane Seymour<\/a>. More interestingly, spotted on Hope Walker’s twitter @HansEworth<\/a>, is this portrait of Edward Seymour Earl of Hertford, attributed to Eworth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

* Dig For Shakespeare<\/a> is back and starting their new field season tomorrow (April 11). If you happen to be in the Stratford-upon-Avon area in the next few months, you can see the dig live.<\/p>\n

* Margaret George has ventured back in to Tudor fiction with her new book Elizabeth I.<\/i><\/a> I read The Autobiography of Henry VIII<\/i> in high school and loved it, but I haven’t read any of her books since (although I have Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles<\/i> on my shelf). I might have to pick this one up though since I haven’t read as much fiction on the later part of Elizabeth I’s life.<\/p>\n
