It gets better...

Okay, so the boys are obviously getting more creative (not sure it's slash yet but they're going in the right direction). You have no idea how much this is amusing me and I'm supposed to be writing an essay about these characters.


Myne deer and moste veryle noble kinge,

I hate thee. Thou art an imbicile and incapable offye rulyng thys realme. Thy indecision in choosyng betwixt the Somerset and York as bedmates hath rent thys countie in twain. And now my honourable sonne, John, hath return’d home and wyll not sitte because thou hath caused him grete payne. I shall visite thee myselffe and beateth thee into a state of catatonia and thee shalle ne’er grow up.

Thy hummbel subject,

Agnes Paston.

(Agnes Paston was one of the members of the Paston family whose letters survive and tell a lot about gentry life in fifteenth century. In one letter her daughter-in-law tells her husband of how she beats her daughter. Also, HenryVI did go into a state of catatonia in 1453)

Also, I found out something interesting today (although you might already know it). The Attic name for Persephone was Pherephatta (I was studying Athenian festivals again).
