I wouldn't think it would be a very usual occurence. The British nobility mostly married members of other British noble families. Apart from anything else, most Spaniards were Catholics, and most British people at this time were Protestants and very anti-catholic. However, I suppose it is...

I think that people will always want books. You can't rely on electronic devices for entertainment, because what if you are somewhere you can't plug your computer in, or what if you want to read in the bath or somewhere? and you can't rely on the device not going wrong,and losing the ebook. I...

Anubis was the god of the dead and of embalming with the epithets 'lord of the hallowed land' i.e. the necropolis and 'he who is before the divine booth' in whcih mummification took place. He usually had canine form, although the species, whether dog or jackal, cannot be exactly identified...

Because it is showing contempt for human life at its most vulnerable. The unborn child has no ability to defend itself, and can be disposed of callously with no chance of survival.

I think a good sex life is important, but marriage is not all about sex. Other things matter too. Being able to get along in other ways apart from sex, for instance. Having children. Being able to agree about who does what around the house (this causes severre dissent in many marriages)...

In 1920, the 19th amendment was passed, giving women the vote. The 20s was the era of the 'flapper' as young women were known. They shortenede their skirst, cut their hair, and took to drinking, smoking, wearing makeup, sunbathing, and driving automobiles and aeroplanes. They went out with...

Tony Robinson is talking absolute nonsense. Henry VII's claim to the throne did not come from Edward IV, who was merely his father-in-law. Henry's claim to the throne came from his mother, who was a direct descendent of King Edward III. Robinson is being very silly.

I think men do tend to be better at maths and science than women are. I am sorry you are finding physics such a trial. The education system in the UK is quite different, here nobody has to study anything they are not interested in afer they take GCSEs when they are fifteen or sixteen. That...

Leading abolitionists tended to be from well educated middle class families. But there must have been working class supporters too whose names have not come down to history because they did not make speeches, write books etc. I don't thnk it can be assumed that educated people were necessarily...
