I am into 1000–1600 England, mostly because King Henry I, II and III are my 25th, 23rd and 21st great grandfathers. Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard were 1st cousin to my 12th great grandfather, William Howard. In fact, Queen Elizabeth is queen because her direct-line ancestor was King Edward I. I am a direct-line ancestor to Edward’s next-in-line brother, Edmund Crouchback of Leicester.
I just eat up anything about the Tudor reign, and especially King Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. I would like to go visit England to see the graves of these people and their castles. It amazes me that so much is still in existence. A lot of my ancestors are buried in the same church as Henry VIII’s illegitimate son who died, Henry Fitzroy. My family castle is Framlingham. When my cousin went to visit, she told them, and they still made her pay admission. Ha-ha!
