Time forwards or backwards scarcely matters when one is in the Tower.

Just popping on to say this is available from today. So if you’re curious to see why Anne, Elizabeth and Margaret were just as important members of the York family as their famous brothers then I’d love you to take a read. Available from @penswordbooks & elsewhere… 📘

If I keep to the shadowy places this entire Yuletide perhaps I shall remain unnoticed.

Apparently not!

@OrphanedPeeress Now she rests beautified…

No amount of Tudor illegitimacy can compare to that…

Pox on the axe man.

Hmph!

I was sixty-seven when my head was “amateurishly” and brutally removed. Who knows how long I might have lived.

Uncle Richard is defeated. [Warps a scarf about her neck to protect it and secures her brother in bubble wrap]

What could go wrong?

//Waiting on the exterminator, I have wasps or bees building a nest in my attic exhaust fan. I was hoping he would come earlier in the day, but at least we got dinner out of the way.

It’s always something.

SAINTS OF THE DAY FOR MAY 28
Bl. Margaret Pole, Martyr of England. She was born Margaret Plantagenet, the niece of Edward IV and Rich-ard III. She married Sir Reginald Pole about 1491 and bore five sons, including Reginald Cardinal Pole. Margaret was widowed, named countess of Salisbury, and appointed governess to Princess Mary, daughter of Henry VIII and Queen Catherine of Aragon, Spain. She opposed Henry’s mar-riage to Anne Boleyn, and the king exiled her from court, although he called her “the holiest woman in England.” When her son, Cardinal Pole, denied Henry’s Act of Supremacy, the king imprisoned Margaret in the Tower of London for two years and then beheaded her on May 28. In 1538, her other two sons were executed. She was never given a legal trial. She was seventy when she was martyred. Margaret was beatified in 1886.
