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:<\/p>\n
* Sir Francis Drake’s final fleet ‘discovered off the coast of Panama’<\/a><\/p>\n Sir Francis Drake’s body ‘close to being found off Panama’<\/a><\/p>\n Wrecks that promise to unlock the mystery of Francis Drake’s final resting place<\/a><\/p>\n And a few other news items that caught my eye last week:<\/p>\n * Brierfield treasure hunter finds Tudor ring<\/a><\/p>\n * Britain’s oldest family business opened when Henry VIII ruled<\/a><\/p>\n And finally, Medievalists.net<\/a> visited the Making History exhibition<\/a> at the McMullen Museum at Boston College (I mentioned it in a previous Sunday short takes<\/a>) and recorded an interview<\/a> with the museum’s director. Tudor history fans will recognize the portrait in the background!<\/p>\n
