Edward's tombstone made my day. :-D
Love these!
Piers - arrogant ponce?! hehehe! Great fun - Ed's tombstone is a cracker!
Some of the anagrams resemble haiku or some bizarre poetic form. Will have to remember that widget if I play Scrabble!
I made a tombstone JPEG for my supervisor at work. He loved it.
I love those tombstones - especially Hugh's! OK, I'm just going to have to join in the fun now!
Best thing I've read all day, laughing out loud - thanks Alianore!
Going off to write my own epitaph now...:-)
Thanks, all! :-)
Looking forward to it, Satima! ;)
Grea fun - and some are uncannily appropriate :-)
Carla: exactly! :)
Oh my gods this is glorious! XD Thank you for making my day with this even though this had been written several years ago :D
I especially love the anagrams of "Roger Mortimer, Earl of March":
Grrr! Male comforter hero
Grrr! Carefree immortal homo
Now I can't get those 'contradictory' images of Roger out of my head... XD Oh the irony that Roger has so often been portrayed as the manly, virile, unequivocally heterosexual hero in recent historical fiction and in non-fiction, so yeah :3
Hehehe, thanks! Some of them came out really well! :)
You're welcome! :) I agree, you should probably keep doing more of this 'fun stuff' to lighten up a bit and entertain us when things are getting a bit too serious and heated :D
BTW, is the author/historian who actually did call Roger Mortimer "manly, virile, unequivocally heterosexual, etc." Alison Weir in her 'biography' on Isabella? I quite liked her most recent biography on Elizabeth of York but her blatant biases against people like Anne Boleyn, Richard III, Edward II, Hugh le Despenser, and others which she very much employs in her non-fiction and which should be a no-no make me want to headdesk!
Yes, that's the one! Unbe-freaking-lievable that such bigoted rot gets published in the 21st century. And 'Roger Mortimer was everything that Edward II was not: strong, manly, virile, unequivocally heterosexual...', even though numerous 14c chroniclers comment on Edward II's enormous physical strength. But obviously, in some people's minds gay/bi men are all feeble and limp-wristed, so Edward can't possibly have been strong and our manly like the über-hetero Roger. That sentence in the book still makes me want to throw things.
