Yes, it was absolutely amazing to touch documents that Ed II&#39;s scribes wrote, and that he himself must have seen. <br /><br />The Tower guide book says that the decoration of the king&#39;s chamber are based on &quot;manuscript illuminations, objects and antiquarian drawings&quot; and from accounts of Ed I&#39;s mother Eleanor of Provence at the Tower. Love the idea of the makeover team though!Alianorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-45605580158928973482009-06-19T21:40:25.270+02:002009-06-19T21:40:25.270+02:00It must be a fantastic feeling to see all those original medieval documents. Just thinking how old they are ! Wow!<br /><br />I was amazed to see the reconstruction of Edward I&#39;s bedchamber. Did he really have white patterned walls with the royal crest on his chimney? Or did he have the BBC&#39;s One Hour Makeover in?<br /><br />Love the pictures!Clement of the Glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14116966238223089211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-37108169434249485662009-06-19T17:45:19.737+02:002009-06-19T17:45:19.737+02:00That bed looks very large and comfortable.<br /><br />*naughty grin*Gabriele C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17205770868139083575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-74561326853083218172009-06-19T06:36:01.510+02:002009-06-19T06:36:01.510+02:00Thanks, all!<br /><br />Yes, there was a Henry VIII exhibition. Of <i>course</i>. :-) It&#39;s called Henry VIII: Dressed To Kill, and in fact it was pretty good and I&#39;d have enjoyed it a lot more if I wasn&#39;t so sick of the Tudors and their ubiquity.Alianorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-64359156804957740842009-06-19T03:16:48.561+02:002009-06-19T03:16:48.561+02:00Very cool!!

Would love to have gone with you and Lady D to the tower AND to the archives. Can&#39;t wait to see what you write about it all. Glad you had fun - and it looks like the weather was kind.<br /><br />PS. I would have even gone to the beheading....Kate Plantagenetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-29596427605074591032009-06-18T21:49:35.089+02:002009-06-18T21:49:35.089+02:00Sounds like you had a great time - and I can share your excitement at seeing an original document written by Edward&#39;s clerks!<br /><br />I LOVE the Tower of London! Haven&#39;t been for at least 2 years now, but I always spend hours in there - and they constantly seem to be changing their exhibitions. No doubt, there was a Henry VIII exhibition there? :&gt;Anerjehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16305237339979790391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-43609946195485723992009-06-18T16:52:23.874+02:002009-06-18T16:52:23.874+02:00Great pictures!Susan Higginbothamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13517907583894026599noreply@blogger.com
