Misfit, these are priceless - loving it!

Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'

I love having the Kindle highlight feature for books like this. Click and quote, no retyping
BTW, did I mention that Henry VIII was recalling a bit of family history her referred to as the Wars of the Roses? BB would be our resident expert, but I don't think that phrase had been coined yet...
Oh heck, it's alternative history so I guess this is allowed

Rex fuit Elizabeth: nunc est regina Jacobus / Elizabeth was King: Now James is Queen.
LOL! I'm just reading Christie Dickason's The King's Daughter as a companion to piece to her latest novel, Noble Assassin, which I finished a short time ago. Your quote brings to mind the satirical contemporary Jacobean saying Dickason mentions (James was notorious for his taste for pretty young men):Next I dictated a short letter for King Louise of France

I have these books in a tbr pile.....I'm slowly becoming more technological as I download to my Kobo (Canadian). I thought I'd never enjoy reading a gizmo rather than a book but I'm getting used to it!

I've just downloaded and started reading That Woman by Anne Sebba. About Wallis, Duchess of Windsor. So far, it's a good read. You know how some biographies are so arid that you read them only when you have insomnia? I'm also pondering another of her bios on Jennie Churchill.

I really need to get that from the library.

Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!
