År 2008 sålde auktionshuset Bonhams en medaljong med en hårlock som sades komma från Catherine Parr, Henrik VIIIs sista hustru. Av medaljongen att döma var hon slående blond.
I'm seldom happier than when playing around with letters, accounts and minuits left behind by people long since dead. My doctoral dissertation "Servants of Fortune - The Swedish Court between 1598 and 1721" dealt with the Swedish court during Sweden's age of greatness. At present I'm finishing a book on the Swedish court of the eighteenth century.
