Dear Charlie,
Do you remember learning about the Tudors?
I do, discovering them, I particularly remember being fascinated and often appalled.
Today's tabloids shock the world, revealing the scandals of today's Royals but compared to the Tudors, they're "softies."
Can you imagine the headlines on Henry VIII? or one of his famous daughters "Bloody Mary" ( aka Mary I; it is not just a drink) and "the Virgin Queen" ( aka Elizabeth I, it's is not just astrology)?

You may wonder why I am suddenly talking about them.
Have I just watched an episode of the Tudors?

I could have even if some historian says it's inaccurate.

Actually, my incentive was an article from the Guardian which I found quite interesting because it was linking history, art and science.

Enjoy!
Mrs. C.
