when does Edward first bite Isabella Clearly a reference to Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series about vampires (the main characters are called Edward and Bella), but that one certainly gave me a vivid mental image.
Edward II week sounds like an excellent idea!
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, insulting tall men from Herefordshire sounds a little risky. Unless you're packing a polled hereford to keep you safe.
You missed a line from the poster; shouldn't it continue:
ReplyDelete...but don't be surprised if you come to a sticky end.
BTW, I believe a polled Hereford is a type of Hereford cattle bred without horns. Read all about it here
Susan: yeah, let's start an Edward II week!
ReplyDeleteCarla: ah, but that wouldn't be very inspirational. :)
Gods, some of those are hilarious.
ReplyDeleteYou should rewrite the story of Edward and Isabella (and Piers, and Hugh and all those gay ... em, merry men) with vampires. That would sell. :)
Some of them are so bizarre!
ReplyDeleteEleanor of Woodstock - naked? WHAT?
I do like 'Piers Gaveston - soap opera' - I think he would as well!
And 'Isabela - tart' ROTFL!
Loved the idea as Isabella as a Carpet.
ReplyDeleteI am sure Mortimer walked all over her....
I think we should have an Edward II week too - any idea what we could do to celebrate it? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love 'are Elizabeths sometimes called Margaret' and when 'does Edward first bite Isabella ' - oh the picture I have in my mind!
That's the true reason for their troubles. Ed was a vampire (as were Hugh, the Dunheved gang and some others) and Isa is Buffy's mom. No wonder they didn't get along. :)
ReplyDeleteAlianore, there's a litte award waiting for you on my blog.
Ah, Carla beat me to it about the polled Herefords.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting blog you have here on all things Edward II.
Edward and Isabella etc as vampires - now there's a novel that'll write itself. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the award, Gabriele!
Barbara: thanks for dropping by, and glad you like the blog.
Well, Edward DID disappear from society. Isabella supposedly lies under a parking lot or grocery store. Mortimer MIGHT be buried at Wigmore with his ancestors, or in Shrewsbury, but who really knows? Mortimer's name etymology is "dead water," like a stagnant pond.
ReplyDeleteThat's enough conjecture for me, that they're all undead vampires who needed cover stories in medieval England.
