I am, unfortunately, too late but would still like to bid goodbye to Warren. He was an outstanding person, a good friend, an exemplary moderator and admin. I had the honor of knowing him for quite a while, and although I was away from TRF community for years due to personal reasons, he was one...

Before the Church of England was established, Edward would have needed Papal dispensation because he and Jane were too closely related otherwise. It was quite a common practice in those times. However, with ties to Rome severed, he would have only needed a blessing from the Archbishop of...

I guess that's what I like about Prince Charles: he's never been afraid of challange and always went for what he thought was right. Thank you for posting the articles, Skydragon! :flowers:

It is quite interesting just how down-to-earth the Queen and her family are when in private, but I'm not sure I like the fact Cherie is basically using anything and anyone to promote her tell-all book. Some things should remain private, I believe. :ermm:

Indeed, she would be HRH X, Duchess of Y. Thanks for correcting Beatrixfan! :smile:

It is very likely that the Queen will give a title (most likely that of a Duke) to Prince William upon his marriage, so whoever marries William, probably is going to be known as X, The Duchess of Y anyway.

Pushkin was in exile twice: in the early 1820s he was sent into exile in southern Russia, and in 1823 he was ordered into exile at his mother's estate in the northern Russia. At the time, Alexander I was the Emperor of Russia. As a matter of fact, when Alexander died in 1825 and Nicholas I...

The County of Cleves probably started its existence in the early 11th century. In 1417 the County became a Duchy. In 1521 Julich, Berg and Mark (neighbouring cities of Counties) were united with Cleves under the rule of Duke John III (the father of Anne of Cleves). When the last duke of...

Marie-Therese was allowed to leave France for several reasons: 1) Women could not succeed to the Throne of France, so her existence was no threat fo anyone 2) The so called 'Reign of Terror', or the Robespierre era, was over. The French public and authorities wanted to distance themselves as...

Thank you for highlighting the busy scheldue of the Princes of Asturias. It is always most interesting to discuss what the Princess wears, but I wish we would pay more attention to the actual important work they do.

Dumas is another good example. His books are most entertaining, but he was basically taking a couple of facts, a couple of people and then would just create a story around them. But from historical point of view, his books are nothing to trust. Which doesn't make them any less interesing, mind.

I totally agree with your points Jo. Personally I like Anne Boleyn and Catherine Parr because they were strong-willed and independent women, but Anne of Cleves was certainly more likable, and she did a lot for Henry's children and poor Grey children as well.
