King Richard Armitage week, Day Six!
***
Lots of neat stuff to read and enjoy today:
Phylly’s Faves has a rediscovered ballad and vid for Richard III!
Fitzg with a double whammy: the search for a saint for Richard (at Confessions of a Watcher) and on Leicester Revisited (at the fan initiative page). Dearie, you need your own blog!
Further news at the Day Six news page — including a secret code in a Holbein portrait, an update from the BBC on the Leicester dig project, and a link to an article on Richard III’s body in the Daily Mail.
And yes — keep going on the quiz! Details in yesterday’s post. It’s not to late to start — all answers accepted through 0:01 a.m., London time, on September 3rd.
Servetus, when I catch up to 21st C technology a room (blog) of one’s own would be nice… (Thanks)
I can help if you like me to ;o)
I agree with you, Servetus. Fitzg needs her own space, to get all her creative and funny ideas out ;o)
To search for a saint for our ‘saint’. Good, I already made the concession that he might only be a half-saint, but still … ;o)
And Phylly with the ballad and music for it. What a wonderful find!
cdoart, I doubt if Mr. A is a saint. Just thought there might be a name day… And thanks.
Not sure I have one – it’s certainly not Fitz!
Perhaps half one, the other half – how did he phrase it – might be a bit naughty ;o) That in my view is quite o.k. for a human being
The saint of my name day is lost and I am in search for mine for years now. There are several saints with my name around, just not mine. But still better to just have lost one’s saint. My father’s saint is no saint any longer
I just looked up the saint for my birthday and I never heard of him.
I must admit, I have not the slightest idea, which saints have their day on my birthday. We choose our saints from the first name of the child and the saint with this name next following the birthday is chosen. Only the church had the congenial idea to transfer the day of my saint and since then my saint has gone missing. There are two others, easily to be found, but those just are not mine. I admit, they are much more famous than my nice little helpful saint ever was, but still, she was mine. Perhaps they dissolved her as well as the saint of my father. Would I then be unholy? ;o) In case of my father’s saint I found the church quite ungrateful, because the church in large parts still exists because of this non-saint. Mine never was so influential and just seems to have been forgotten.
it was seriously unfair for the church to just cancel all those saints. They should have grandfathered the good ones out. Then again, some of the ones they canceled I am happy to see gone (Simon of Trent)
