I am new to this forum, having found it while researching costume history.
My name is Tabitha (yes, my real name; no, not after the child on the sitcom) and I am a history and linguistics buff. My royal interest started harmlessly enough: researching etymology of nomenclature. Place names, personal names, professional names...and the door was opened.
I also have an abiding interest in period costume and study -- who're usually in the paintings? Who got the press, so to speak?
Exactly.
So I am here to continue learning and to share what little I know. I had a look around, and I am happy to find a royalty-interest site that is at once so thorough and that doesn't just deal in rumor and tabloid speculation.
