Welcome to the final Link Dump of 2023!
The Strange Company staffers and I wish you a Happy New Year!
An ancient Roman mosaic has just been discovered.
The woman who claimed to control the weather.
A dangerous man at the court of Elizabeth I.
A Christmas Eve murder.
A handy reminder: practical jokes and church bells don't mix.
The ancient underground city that was found in a basement.
A very contentious Christmas dessert.
The sad life of Queen Victoria's daughter Alice.
Imagine being known to history as Roland the Farter.
Photos of Old London.
The mystery of the missing prehistoric fingerprints.
The coronation of King Stephen.
And that's all for this week! Sorry for the paucity of links, but the blogosphere tends to get quiet over the holiday season. See you on Sunday, when we'll look at the most popular Strange Company posts of 2023! In the meantime, happy new year!
A belated Merry Christmas & Happy New Year with much thanks!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting it must be to live in Rome, where everyone's basement could be an archaeological treasure trove - though it must be tough to dig a new sewer. Alice, Grand Duchess of Hesse, sure had a tough life but, as difficult as Queen Victoria made it, Alice might have improved things herself. And I was wondering how the 'Fitzalan' part of the Dukes of Norfolk's surname became attached to the 'Howard' bit. Now, I know.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year, Undine, and to all those under your care.
Happy New Year and may we continue in your strange company, thanks!
