Boudicea and Weir?

As I promised, I've been doing a lot of research into buxom royal
ladies. I wonder how Weir missed this one. Someone should tell her.

I am informed by those in the know that this is a fairly accurate
depiction of the Queen of the Iceni. I wouldn't know. I wonder if she
picked up the strong leg muscles from tripping o'er hill and dale as was
the Celts' wont. Didn't know the Iceni had burberry either. See, I'm
pushing sixty-one, and I'm still learning lotsa great new things about
history an' all.

BTW. Anyone know how Weir described Eleanor of Aquitaine? Robert*, do
you know? I wouldn't want to miss anything really cool.

*Aside to Robert Fripp

I can't shake the image of her looking like Kate Hepburn.

Buxomness was not mentioned, but William the Conqueror's queen, Matilda
of Flanders, was described as being extremely short, almost a dwarf.
When he chose her there was some dismay due to doubts that she could
successfully bear children and provide the all-important heir. As it
happened, she produced a passle of kids...six survived to adulthood.

But if she was that short and had that many kids, I'd bet she was
pretty busty, too, at least after the first one.

Good. I'll add her to my list.

Ms. Weir's description of Eleanor of Aquitaine is somewhat
contradictory. Initially she states that there is no contemporary
description of her so "we do not even know what she looked like".

However, she goes on to declare that Eleanor was "very beautiful"
and had "long red hair".

She also surmises that Eleanor was "not too buxom" because at one
time she was able to successfully disguise herself as a man.

Hm. Ms. Weir's need to establish the buxomness of her female
subjects seems a bit obsessive, and perhaps reveals more about her
character than I wish to know...

if you want an awesome boudicca read, try to find an affordable copy of this one..or check your library. my signed copy isn't leaving this house.
http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/0968580602/bookfindercom-20

roxanne had to self publish, which is why there are so few copies of this amazing book out there. penny marshall (of laverne and shirley tv fame), a few years ago was in negotiations with roxanne to make boudicca's revenge into a movie. i sure wish she would.

boudicca is incredibly well researched. roxanne drops the reader right into roman era britian.

i've just been in contact with roxanne. i couldn't resist letting her know a copy of her boudicca was selling for 700+ dollars. she was "gobsmacked"..and it takes a lot to do that to roxanne..:-)) made my day..lol

she is now going to investigate the possibility of re-releasing boudicca's revenge as an ebook, or print on demand.

i'll update you when i find out how she going to go, and when the book will be released and in what format.

she is in the middle of writing another book...well, just slightly past the middle. "185 pages done, 120 to go." it's set in the late 19th early 20thC.

I can think of only one phrase that sums it up best "sex sells"; I
learned that many years ago when I thought that I might like
advertising as a profession(but found I was too honest for it). If
sex sells almost anything from razor blades to cars, why not history?
I see from an article in "Time" magazine that there's to be a
flood of Tudor related TV & movies "The Tudors", "The Other Boleyn
Girl" and "The Golden Age" based on the book "The Lioness Roared"--
"The Tudors" is describes as Henry VIII meets "Desperate Housewives".

Naughty-Knickers history, here we come.

"Meek"(stocking up on salt)
