So true that Americans are enthralled by English history (monarchs). I think the fact that most Americans can trace their linage back to England, creates the attraction to its history.Mud Puddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821811923355070648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303960524274383740.post-12496512296517286272012-07-03T04:27:36.519-07:002012-07-03T04:27:36.519-07:00I loved reading this!

I was born near Leeds and I grew up there but I don't recall ever visiting the castle. Perhaps I did when was a kid and I just don't remember! We Brits like our Monarchy (somewhat), but I think the Royal Family holds more mystery and fascination for folk outside the country - especially Americans. Having said that, Henry VIII (and all his wives) has always had me intrigued, especially how he changed our Country's religion so drastically just to suit his carnal desires (I find his daughter Elizabeth fascinating too). I don't think I've ever thought of him as a 'tyrant' though! Just one man with way too much power and too much pressure for baring a son. I just finished watching the Tudors (televised series) recently - and it was a great summary of the king's reign - of course it was all pretty glammed up! Anyway - terrific post. Thanks and keep em coming!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929283831692486767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303960524274383740.post-79834587311767817902012-07-02T09:41:51.446-07:002012-07-02T09:41:51.446-07:00Thanks!
