This blog is aimed more at a lay audience than Edward II experts, so I decided that reviews of novels would be more appealing. However, I do intend to eventually write posts about the Fryde and Haines books on Edward, as well as a few others.<br /><br />And yet again, Beta drives me crazy by making me sign in 3 times...grr.Kathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-26741368549092582372006-11-04T19:23:00.000+00:002006-11-04T19:23:00.000+00:00But why read all these novels, when there are work...But why read all these novels, when there are works that are based on the sources. Maybe you have reviewed Natalie Fryde The tyranny and fall of Edward II, CUP 1979, and Roy Martin Haines, King Edward II; his life, reign and its aftermath, 1284-1330, in some previous post? There can be no doubt that by the time he was deposed, Edward was even more unpopular than Mr Blair is now, and that was the reason why Isabella and Mortimer had an easy time when they invaded.Eric Aveburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14798868875167454423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-90627893487178587422006-10-30T16:20:00.000+00:002006-10-30T16:20:00.000+00:00Alianore,

I got so pissed this weekend that I asked my brother to check if there's really a security risk - as my firewall kept telling me - and he said it's only a bug and I could change to Beta.
