[QUOTE=Carla;23664] How on earth did your history teacher manage to explain Edward II's death tastefully? I can conceive of it being exciting, fascinating (in a grotesque sort of way - but children love the grotesque), horrifying, etc - but tasteful......? Your teacher must have been a genius
Now I've had all day to think on it, Carla, you're correct. I probably should've written......'grotesquely tasteful'.

Hello and welcome, you've landed in the right place. I am interested in earlier British eras so although I do stroke castles, I confess I am overtaken by the same stream of imaginings while looking out at what my husband describes as "lumps in the grass" That is, Iron Age hillforts and Roman camps where a great deal of imagination is required to see ANYTHING
