Welcome To The Royal Tapestry!
Our blog is a proverbial tapestry where you can find all the intrigues, politics, loves, betrayals and bloody battles, going all the way back to the Conqueror, stitched out in detail. For more on that, visit our mission statement. While you’re here, pick an article, any article, and enjoy a ramble through a bygone age. Or perhaps you, dear reader, would like to know specifically about the kings that ruled the land for a thousand years. Check out our articles on Kings of England. We also have a page dedicated to the queens that supported the English monarchy throughout the ages. And there are plenty of important and fascinating figures not of royal blood we have something to say about, as well as important events that litter the landscape. Would you like to broaden your investigation a bit? Check out our favorite channel on YouTube, History Hit (no, we’re not being sponsored; we just really like history). Happy reading!
Looking for something specific? Visit our articles on English kings, queens, figures, and historical events below. Note: Unlike the era we’re writing about, this is a very young blog! If some of our pages or categories haven’t been posted to yet, stay tuned. We post at least once a week. Thanks very much for your patience!
