Requiring you also to say unto her majesty, that in the king my brother’s time, there was offered me a very honorable marriage or two: and ambassadors sent to treat with me touching the same; whereupon I made my humble suit unto his highness, as some of honour yet living can be testimonies, that it would like the same to give me leave, with his graces favour, to remain in that estate I was, which of all others best liked me or pleased me.

Elizabeth Tudor to Thomas Pope. May 1558.

… Elizabeth from a very young age, had rejected the orthodoxy that a woman must marry, that a princess, particularly, had a duty to marry. Given all the human and political circumstances of tradition, expectation, security, and dynastic and familial duty which pressed in upon her, Elizabeth’s insistence that she would not marry was a remarkable instance of revolutionary action and independence of mind. In May 1558, she reminded Sir Thomas Pope that even when Edward VI was king she had asked permission ‘to remayne in that estate I was, which of all others best lyked me or pleased me … I am even at this present of the same mind … I so well like this estate, as I perswade myself ther is not anie kynde of liffe comparable unto it … no, though I were offered the greatest Prince in all Europe’. To remain unwed was also a masterly diplomatic ploy for the unfulfilled prospect of her marriage to various foreign princes kept the equilibrium between the great European powers in constant suspension.

American And Australian Military – A 99 Year Relationship (Part Two)

By Anton Lang ~ Yesterday, I wrote a Post for our site about the 99 years relationship between the US Military and the Australian Military, and that Post is at this link. The information I used for that Post was taken from a wonderful book, a biography about General Sir John Monash, and that book’s title is Monash The Outsider Who Won A War and it was written by the Australian author, Roland…

No.Fuck no.

"Ian Bohen will guest-star in this season’s penultimate episode as Thomas Pope, a vicious serial killer who once owned a house where another brutal murder has just been committed. But before you assume the former killer is back at it, know this: The house is believed to be haunted. Anyone know how to handcuff a ghost?"

  and guess what? The ghost? Kids.

And I have a very flashback to the Hale fire. My brain totally fucked by Teen Wolf... My brain function with steady supply of Sterek.Sterek. a bit of Peter/Chris, or sheriff/chris or peter....

  Damn I am sooo dead.
