blackjohn Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Thursday at 9 on Maryland Public Television: "A fight for the throne between Protestant King William of Orange and the Catholic King James II leads to the eventual division of Ireland, impacting modern British rulers. Peter Snow and Dan Snow provide commentary." Looks cool. And considering the time period and the ramifications, this will probably be worth watching. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Fox Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 It's a good series! If anyone caught the Armada episode I was the priest, a gunner, a musketeer, an English seaman, a Spanish seaman, and a Spanish soldier... The book is available from Amazon.co.uk (I'm on p101...)

Which every chi'd in London can tell you." - Ned Ward The Wooden World Dissected, 1707ETFox.co.uk
