A Historical Meme

Chemist tagged me with this meme. I've put it off for a week or so since, as Angelos said, it's more like homework.

The Rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. List 7 random/weird things about your favorite historical figure.
3. Tag seven more people at the end of your blog and link to theirs.
4. Let the person know they have been tagged by leaving a note on their blog.

So, I did #1 without any trouble, but reading through the rules, I see that #2 is going to give me a problem. I don't have any favorite historical figures that I can think of off the top of my head. #3 also, will be a problem. I'm not sure I even have seven readers, but even if I do, Chemist and/or the people he already tagged have likely already tagged them. Finally, #4 is something I'm not a fan of anyway. If you don't read my blog, then why would you give a crap about what memes I might be tagging you with? So anyway, all this to say, there's no chance I'm going to do this meme very well anyway, so I've decided not to bother.

Then I'll do it for you :)

7 facts about Elizabeth Tudor:

1. she was a natural redhead
2. she spent time in the Tower of London accused of being a traitor during her sister Mary's reign.
3. she owned the first known wrist watch in England when Robert Dudley gave her a watch encased in a bracelet.
4. she was afraid of mice.
5. she was buried next to her sister Mary.
6. The potato was first introduced to England during her reign. Unfortunately, they didn't know how to cook it and so cooked the green leafy parts and not the potato itself. The green leafy parts are poisonous and the Queen became quite ill.
7. Her favorite flower was the pansy.

Are you referring to Michelline? She's not an author, but this post will explain why her name appears on the older posts, if that's what you're asking.

And who are you, anonymous?
