i was 16...... now i'm 65!!! been reading english. scottish, french, russian and us history since. lolol .... i can name all the british monarchs from HENRY II on ......
my big claim to fame.

oh and i can tell you yucky stories about the kings and queens that may not be in the history books. that is what you learn when you immerse yourself in fiction and non fiction history.

be sure to catch OUTLANDER .... BOOKS AND THE TV PROGRAM. Scottish, French, English and American history.

ELIZABETH I is one of my favorites.
