We Are Not Worthy!
The scene: the Great House of Easement, Hampton Court.
Henry VIII is reading correspondence whilst the Groom of the Stool busies himself.
There is a knock at the door.
Henry: "Enter".
Enter Cardinal Wolsey, obviously in a state of high excitement.
Wolsey: "Majesty, I bring you great news!"
Henry: "Catherine has agreed a divorce?"
W: "Not yet, Majesty. The news concerns my Blog"
H: "Oh that waste of the Lord's day. What of it?"
W: "It has been recognised by Professor Luker and is in His List"
H (suspicious): "Did you say Luther?"
W:"No Sire, Professor Luker of the house of Cliopatria in the New World"
H: "What of this List?"
W: "It contains a choice selection of eighty Historical Blogs, and can only bring further esteem for your reign and reputation".
H:"Are the French represented?"
W: "I do not think so".
H (looking pleased):"Hmm. And Spain?"
W:"Again they seem absent. I am sure you will not object to the presence of the Classics, and the East?
Henry:"I suppose not. But make sure all your posts, from now on, mention myself and are written in courtly style. Now go and sort out my Great Matter. "
Wolsey (withdrawing):"Of course, Sire."
Henry: "And ensure that this List is proclaimed throughout the Land"
Wolsey: "I'm right on it".
Here it is, subjects:

Cardinal Wolsey and Cleopatra
A quick post to plug the Cliopatria group blog on the History News Network hosted by George Mason University, Seattle. Cardinal Wolsey has made it onto the v.long Cliopatria history blogroll (it is conveniently classified into sections), which gave a nice increase in readership just when it was getting a bit quiet - thanks folks.

Time for some more links
For today's post here are some history sites and blogs I have enjoyed looking at recently :
xoom -thanks for the link in your July blog carnival guys.
Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog - brilliant....especially if you did Canterbury Tales at school and didn't get it. Check out "Most fresshe and newe postes".
Tudor England FAQs - all the questions you might expect, plus some you might not,
eg Was Anne Boleyn really a witch? Did she have an extra finger? Did she really commit adultery and have an incestuous affair with her brother? How many times was she pregnant as Queen? Better than Eastenders.
