How England Lost Its MoJo in 1901 When Victoria Died
Innovation: The History of England Volume VI This was a birthday gift from Susan’s daughter, Tracy, almost a month late. Nevertheless, Peter Ackroyd is my favourite English historian, so I didn’t mind the belated birthday present. (I also have Volume … Continue reading

The King who Invoked the Return of Arthur for His Son
Henry VII of England (January 28, 1457 – April 21, 1509) I’ve written about my past life connection to the Tudors, previously. I concluded at the time that Henry VIII may have been a better fit, but now I’m not … Continue reading

Treachery: A Whole Lot of Faking Going On
Surrender of Quebec (July 20, 1629) Oh dear. This is the moment when a permanent stain was placed on Étienne (Stephen) Brûlé’s memory. As a background movement, he may have been instrumental in the Kirkes’ capture of Quebec, but history … Continue reading
