Continuing with Henry VIII...
With so much news about Henry VIII, I thought I would continue the trend and pass along some interesting links.
The first link is an online exhibit of some items from Henry's reign. There is even an Interactive section which has you trying to pick out Henry's notes (side note: brush up on your Latin).
The second article details the reproduction of the document which the English peers sent to Pope Clement VII asking for the annulment of Henry's marriage.
Stay tuned as I'm sure we'll be seeing more and more articles/blogs/fan pages devoted to Henry VIII this year.
