Hidden History Research

“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”

The Devils of Loudun

I have this book.

I KNOW I have this book. And I read it as part of my research for Weave a Garland.

Can I find it ?

No.

I bought and read it for one reason only.

Wat Montagu, Marie de Rohan’s best friend, George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham’s spy and one of my fave characters apparently witnessed the burning of Urbain Grandier.

It was one of the reasons why Wat, an English Protestant, became a Catholic Priest. And was totally disowned by his family.

I WILL find the book. Freaking funny arse book fairies :o(

P.S. This vid is …. Be nice, Jackie!

Is a video about history :o)
