I have always enjoyed doing the Research needed for my Historical Romances—indeed if I am not careful I should spend all of my time poring through dusty tomes and never get around to actually writing the book! But alas, some of the most interesting Tidbits of History don’t quite fit into my books. Therefore, I am most pleased to offer to you here, Gentle Reader, a few of my historical notes.
