Did you read that they now think the actual site of the Battle of Bosworth was several miles away from where the present battlefield trail?

I love medieval English history and I'd give anything to have ancestors from that time--unfortunately my family is all German :-( . As for the Wars of the Roses, I am a big supporter of Richard the Third as a good king and not an evil murderer. I'd love to see Bosworth Field someday. Oh, I might have you beat on first celebrity crush--mine was Liberace! (He had a TV show at the time and I loved his smile and curly hair. Hey, I was only about six.)ElaineLKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00866201775130742517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-45723819445989622652012-01-06T05:55:05.465-08:002012-01-06T05:55:05.465-08:00Great list.

But I was about 11 at the time and he seemed So good looking!<br /><br />Word Nerd - I won't tease you about Donny if you don't tease me about Pat LOL<br /><br />K - I always loved musicals, but only got involved the local group when I was in my 40's. I can't sing or dance to save my life, but I loved directing the shows.<br />And my internet comment wasn't ironic at the time, I honestly didn't know anything about it, and no-one else I knew was connected.Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-88934275441809348722012-01-04T12:04:14.142-08:002012-01-04T12:04:14.142-08:00This was a fun expedition into the intricacies of ...This was a fun expedition into the intricacies of you Paula, I enjoyed each one. I wish I had been involved in plays, and musicals when I was younger, it was always something I enjoyed, just never took that step toward it. <br /><br />My mother's side of the family goes back to England royalty, but I would have to dig it up to see where the line is drawn from. <br /><br />My favorite has to be the last one... irony at its best!<br /><br />k~k~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17308736457276683273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-38776133332518369172012-01-04T11:49:45.022-08:002012-01-04T11:49:45.022-08:00I'd tease you about Pat Boone except I had a m...I'd tease you about Pat Boone except I had a major thing for Donny Osmond. ;O)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-47361341767112287782012-01-04T11:47:59.008-08:002012-01-04T11:47:59.008-08:00As an American, I always think it's cool when ...As an American, I always think it's cool when Europeans can trace their ancestors back to kings and queens.
