Thanks Pea... 
I've read two possible reasons for the favour that Lizzy number one heaped on Devereux...
1. He was her bastard son...possible, and there is some compelling evidence to suggest this...
2. He was boning her...which is the premise that the movie has followed...
Either way though, she ended up lopping off his head... 8O

Re: RE: birdland
Same as Dandelions. Hundreds of years ago, some Scottish a-hole in North America decided he "missed" the sight of his favourite Scottish flower, so he arranged to have a pack of seeds sent over.
I'd dearly love to give that prick a "nose-adjustment"....

It's these damned Europeans, Ten Packs. Somebody should have have stabbed the bastards when they were getting off the boats. ;-)

Yes, well thanks for the little history/genealogy lesson Mr Fucci. I'd heard a rumour that was how it worked.
I was talking to peapod about this last night; a few weeks ago I was in the British Library in London. They have a lot of historic documents on display. I was looking at your ancestor's death warrant, the original, as signed by Elizabeth I. Spooky ... 8)
I see Essex has also been played 'in the movies' by Charlton Heston, Vanni. Funny, you forgot to mention that ... :wink:
Thats very spooky henry 8O Happens alot in genealogy. Hey henry maybe you could get a photocopy of that death warrant for vanni. 8)

Very spooky indeed, I should like to see that myself sometime...
Hard-Luck Henry said:
Truth be told, I wasn't aware that he had...and so it seems we're all learning from this little genealogical enterprise...
I'm sure I can get hold of some kind of facsimile. I will endeavour to find out. I'm not sure they'll let me photocopy the original, though .... :lol:
Hard-Luck Henry said:
How about ex-patriating the original document for a private viewing to a patron of the British Library in London? I'll make a donation today if that will help... :wink:
Vanni Fucci said:
:lol: I must admit the thought had crossed my mind at the time, but I had my eye on the Anglo Saxon Chronicle. The glass looked quite tough but it was only glass after all so, hey, how tough could it be? I was being 'tailed' by an over-zealous security guard, I must've looked furtive (or scruffy), so I went away to formulate a plan. I'm a bit of a procrastinator, as it happens, so ...

I have the complete geneology at home, but it's rather voluminous, and I've not read the whole thing. I'll get back to you on that... :wink:
No...a relative from the States that I'd never heard of contacted my mom and after gathering her information, printed his research and bound it in a book and then mailed her a copy...all very cool, and probably costly...the thing weighs a few pounds... 8)
That is so cool vanni, genealogy is full of random acts of kindness, you will have to tell us some of the naughty bits, when you read the volume. :wink:
