RANDOM ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA POST

ARNOLD OF BRESCIA- 1100's. forerunner of the reformation. assailantof popes temporal power and clergy wealth. followed Abelard.

gotta look up ARONA. did not say where the town was countrywise. sounded neat. maybe as good as foix france.

ARSENIC- was used as pigment(still is, make red stained glass! i worked in stained glass studio that made it, heh, asshole boss accidently killed himself with it)and back then there was a scare that arsenic in green wallpaper was injurious(no possibility-with their testing) newspaper fearmongering!

ART-4 measly pages.

ARTILLERY-655-669 did NOT read.

ARVAL brothers- 12 romans of high birth(could even be the emperor) whose duty was to offer sacrifice to ensure good harvests-origin from romulus' foster mother Acca Larentia.

ARYAN-sanskrit arya drya-good family, r maybe from this word or that one or that one. ugh

ASBEN-cebtral african country. ? what did that become?

ASBESTOS-oh, this one a hoot to look back from now. DRESSES, handkerchiefs, TOWELS, made of asbestos! wonderful stuff. so fireproof. roofing, flooring. amazing humans are not already extinct.

ASCHAM,roger-1515?-1568 lower class, but a lord took notice of his intelegence and sent him to schools and college.latin greek scholar who although protestant, was tutor to queen elizabeth and other royals.tutor to the tudors!

Comments:
On two occasions the real estate section of the local paper has shown a photo of a Tutor style house.

Would Henry VIII have had RC tutors for the kids? I thought his lackeys were running around killing all the priests.
 
i guess elizabeth was catholic. maybe some bad blood with daddy. and daddy was only marginally anti-catholic. i am sure he hated the luterans and such more. so, he must have been awfully nice protestant to get the job.
