BBC History

I bought the March edition of this magazine a couple of weeks ago – see how far behind we are? – and it was good.  At last I have an understanding of where William and Mary and Anne fit in, and where, and why!  Hurrah.  Also had quite an interesting look at Mary, and exactly how bloody she actually was in terms of prosecuting Protestants.  Fairly, I think; but she wasn’t as bad as we still think, which seems to be mostly based on Foxe’s Book of Martyrs.  Mmm, propaganda.
