I will wait patiently.

I can't imagine the amount of time it takes to put these Thoughts together and write them all out - it takes me long enough to write a comment! 😅

Such brutal, gruesome ways to die. The one of course is only rumored, but burning at the stake certainly was typical. (Margaret Atwood's comment that inconvenient Harry might have been murdered in ye good olde days has plenty of historical precedent.)

I did read up some on the Templars, but resisted any temptation to peek at any 'spoilers' for this family's fate! Rather ill-fated for most. I wonder if Edward II was such an awful father that his children were more forgiving of their mum?

(Should I have used a comma after gruesome? Some say yes, I never have. Pretty sure with or without, no one will interpret as a death order.)

So are we off to war next, or on to a new (old) scandal?

It will be a new scandal but in 2 weeks’ time. I need more time to research and write these than the Bridgerton recaps. But I promise it will be worth the wait (well, I hope it will be!)

I don’t think Edward was a terrible dad, apart from at one time keeping his kids away from their mother. Neither he nor Isabella were especially hands-on parents but that would have been typical of royals of their time.
