Know what's absolutely brilliant about being a history nerd?!!?

Becoming re-obsessed with a certain period of English history ( the Restoration! When I was 15-ish I loved reading about Charles II and all the things he did (giving the boot to the puritans, getting revenge for his father, reopening theatres and letting women act on stage, having lots of illegitimate children)that kinda stuff, anyways) . And being sad that King Charles II never had his own son on the throne, because you really like the Merrie Monarch, then remembering that his brother King James VII & II was ousted and the House of Stuart was no more on the throne of England. Lots of sad times. Then you remember a certain Jacobite song about Bonnie Prince Charlie. Which is a heckin' great song by the by. THEN you get sad remembering that Bonnie Prince Charlie lost. More sad times

Then it crosses your mind to finally check out BPCharlie's ancestry and low and behold he's King James VII & II grandson ( teen me never made the connection when last I obsessed over 17th/18th century England). Cool! I love the connecting dots I'm doing.

A little bit of reading later and a few more dots connected, and OH? isn't THAT interesting?? King ' I had more illegitimate kids than I knew what to do with ' Charles II gave lots of dukedoms and titles and things to said kids...... And guess who's a direct descendant of one of those * ahem* children? Princess Diana. Yeah, the PRINCESS DIANA ! And who's next in line to the throne of England?? Her eldest son..... Who's consequentially a direct (maternal line) descendant of the Merrie Monarch... The Jacobites better have a party when Prince William is crowned because THE STUARTS ARE GONNA BE BACK ON THE THRONE!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!

Klencke Atlas

The Klencke Atlas, first published in 1660 AD, is one of the world's largest atlases.

Originating in The Netherlands, it is 1.75m tall by 1.9m wide when open. It is so heavy that the British Library needed six people to carry it.

It was presented by a consortium of Dutch sugar merchants, represented by Professor Johannes Klencke (1620-1672), to King Charles II of England (1630-1685) in 1660 to mark the occasion of his Restoration to the throne.

The consortium likely hoped to gain favorable trade agreements with Britain for their sugar plantations.

The UK government has published a list of 1,200 citizens honoured on New Year’s Eve.

By decree of Charles III, former England football coach Gareth Southgate, actor Stephen Fry and London mayor Sadiq Khan, among others, received knighthoods.

Among those being honoured today is former England manager Sir Gareth Southgate, who receives a Knighthood for services to Association Football. Beyond the pitch, Southgate has been actively involved in charitable work including supporting the Prince’s Trust, a youth charity that helps young people get into education, training, and employment.

The List awards a Companion of Honour, of which there are only 65 recipients at any time, to author and screenwriter Sir Kazuo Ishiguro; and a Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire for author Dame Jacqueline Wilson, and a Knight Grand Cross for Professor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz lately Chair of Cancer Research.
