A Writer's Block

Hello followers!
You have undoubtedly noticed my absense from Confessions for over three weeks. I have been suffering from an intense writer's block, due in part to being ill and not having the energy to access information to write about. I apologize for this delay; today have served as an inspiration and I have several posts already planned! Enjoy!

The Haunting of Anne Boleyn

In honor of Halloween please enjoy this BBC video on the haunting of London by Anne Boleyn's ghost!

The Remains of Richard III

BBC has spoken to several MPs and confirmed that if the remains discovered at Greyfriars Abbey are that of King Richard III, who died a gruesome death at the Battle of Bosworth Field, they will not be reinterred at their original resting place but moved to Leicester Catherdral where the late King would recieve a funeral and reburial at the government's expense.

Read of the Week

This week I read Elizabeth I: Struggle for the Throne by David Starkey. It is a great book which explores her life from birth to accession and how the events of those years formed her opinions and beliefs. It touches on the controversial subject of sexual abuse at the hands of Thomas Seymour, the influence of Kateryn Parr and other reformers in her life as well as her own sexuality. However, readers should be aware that Starkey leans very pro-Elizabeth, justifying every action she makes, however heinous. He always presents some of his assertions as proven fact. Despite these short-comings I really enjoyed this book and it helped me to understand Anne's daughter on a much deeper level. Pick up a copy today and enjoy!
