Henry of Lancaster and His Children
The close bonds which Edward II's cousin Henry of Lancaster, earl of Lancaster and Leicester, forged with his children have fascinated me for a long time. Here's a post about the family.
Henry of Lancaster (b. 1280/81) and Maud Chaworth (b. February 1282) were betrothed at the end of 1291 and married before 2 March 1297. [1] They had six daughters and one son born between the early 1300s and the l

Hi Cami, great to hear from you again! In almost all cases I read the original sources (in Latin or Anglo-Norman), as I tend not to trust translations. They're sometimes inaccurate, or miss important bits out. And yes, I've often looked at original d

question:
Hi Cami, thank you for the question! That would be a fascinating book, for sure. As Kristen Geaman has already written a great book on Anne, and I'm not sure if I'd find enough material on Isabelle, I think on the whole I probably wouldn't. But I'd l

“Readers have the right to say whatever the fuck they want about a book. Period. They have that right. If they hate the book because the MC says the word “delicious” and the reader believes it’s the Devil’s word and only evil people use it, they can shout from the rooftops “This book is shit and don’t read it” if they want. If they want to write a review entirely about how much they hate the cover, they can if they want. If they want to make their review all about how their dog Foot Foot especially loved to pee on that particular book, they can."

You're welcome! I hadn't heard the long arms theory before actually. Interesting to see what people come up with :-)
Thanks, Kathyn! I figured it was because of his height, what with the "shanks" part of Longshanks :D. But that silly argument I once heard that it was because of his long arms had me puzzled for a while.

Hi Marquise! It's because he was tall, six feet two; his embalmed remains were examined and measured when his tomb was opened in 1774. Longshanks means 'long legs' :-)
Dear Kathryn: I have one question I didn't know who else to ask about and thought perhaps I should try with you. It's about Edward I, and I know your specialty is on his son, but I thought you might know :).
My question is: Why exactly was he called Longshanks? I've heard 2 versions of the reason, one that it was his height and the other the length of his arms; and obviously I don't know which is the right explanation. Could you help?
