I think Antonia Fraser, in her bio of Mary, wrote that Elizabeth's men didn't even want her body to be kept intact, or given a known burial place, so as to keep the "martyr" aspect of her execution to a minimum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013145818393338825.post-63186394578893743572009-09-17T06:56:13.092+10:002009-09-17T06:56:13.092+10:00Great exhibit.

I hope the Scottish National museum will post some good photos of it. <br /><br />What a story was Mary's. <br /><br /> Probably the greatest "lost cause" ever. <br /> I was looking at the photos of Fotheringay on the 'net, and of course, there's nothing left of the castle but the big motte or mound and some vestigial stonework...and the Nene flowing past.

I thought the casting was excellent, with Natalie Dormer being outstanding, as Anne. <br /><br /> You're tempted to say that, with Elizabeth's execution of Mary, and Henry VIII's cruelty, that the Tudor's were a bloody lot, but I guess they all were, then.tanbarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013145818393338825.post-33011130125392470672009-09-12T00:09:11.130+10:002009-09-12T00:09:11.130+10:00And I wonder if indeed the wages were paid.And I wonder if indeed the wages were paid.BurtonReview https://www.blogger.com/profile/15113347274782450564noreply@blogger.com
