I'm reading Alison Weir's book The Princes in the Tower. According to Weir the period 1450 - 1500 is rather an unknown era in English history, mainly because some few documents have survived from the period.

Oh awesome. I love historical fiction. I have 3 Alison Weir books sitting on my shelf waiting to be read at the moment. Think I'm going to start "The Captive Queen" first. It's about Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II.

Below, where is your boat?
You are slow, you are slow
From where I stand
I can see the curvature of the Earth
And I want to make it flat
I will play, the sky is black
