		Elizabethan Names ^Votes:0 Elizabethan Names This list came about after hearing one too many characters called "Chastity Sweetlips" or some other unrealistic name. I decided to find out what the real names were that they used. So, I went down to UCLA's Research library, picked out a book that contained the registers of a period church and started collecting names. I picked out about 300 male names and 300 female names and counted the frequency with which they occurred. In this list I have omitted the ones that occurred only once. So, here it is, a list of what parents were really naming their children back then. -- Gary Kephart, Feb.

SMOKING IN ENGLAND--ELIZABETHAN From The GENTLE ART OF SMOKING (1954) by Alfred H. Dunhill Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 54-10495 SMOKING IN ENGLAND--ELIZABETHAN Opinion is still divided about which of the sea captains or colonists in the time of Hawkins and Drake was the first to introduce the plant into the country, and we can be sure only that smoking slowly established itself in England between 1565 and 1590. From the first, however, Englishmen seem to have been more concerned with the pleasures offered by tobacco than with its medical virtues. No doubt the English sailors were the first to become acquainted with cigar and pipe smoking from their rivals in Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Flemis Read More Go to Site

		Spanish Armada - History Essay 91 ^Votes:0 The Defeat of the Spanish Armada ~~ Paul V. Hartman ~~ S panish archives, particularly the correspondence between Phillip II of Spain and the armada commander, the Duke of Medina Sidonia, provide the bulk of what we know about the ill-fated effort by Phillip, in 1588, to conquer England in the cause of Catholicism. History buffs are aware that the Spanish were victims of the weather, but they were also at the mercy of a singular strategy developed by the King who used no military advice, and of a fleet commander with no military experience who reluctantly accepted Phillip's appointment to command. Nevertheless, the Spanish Armada was considered invincible. The Spanish tactical plan was simply to get ships close to the enemy and let soldiers pour over the side - overwhelm with numbers.
