| What period in history would you have loved to go back and see for yourself HI there, I was just thinking if we had a chance to go back in time just for a week, which period would you like to visit? I think I would love to visit the Tudor/Elizabethan era. I have always had a love of this age and sometimes feel I must have been around in them times in an earlier life. The music, housing and clothing were so beautiful and the times themselves were so interesting with so much going on. Let me know what you think. |

| Re: What period in history would you have loved to go back and see for yourself I'd love to go to Norway or Sweden during the latter part of the ninth century. I'd love to go on a raid in England or Ireland or Scottland. The height of the Viking Age...I'd love to be there, basically in charge of Europe, taking what we want, an entire continent afraid of us. (No offense all you Britts, Scotts, and Irishmen.) |

| Re: What period in history would you have loved to go back and see for yourself I'd have to agree with Brian, Rome for me to (although I'd also be tempted by Medieval Britain - circa 11th Century - see if I could spot Wart as he's trying to pull a sword out of a stone...  ) |

| Re: What period in history would you have loved to go back and see for yourself The Battle of the Boyne, as long as my presence would win it for the Irish. Otherwise I would go to Imperial Rome, maybe the 2nd Century though, you know, when Gladatorial games were held in arenas and not just the courtyard in front of the forum buildings. DJ |

| The Wicked Sword Maiden  | Re: What period in history would you have loved to go back and see for yourself I would love to go back to 7th century Anglo-Saxon England. Only the Priests had scribes and usually only wrote about church affairs in Roman. The early British relied on the Bard to tell or sing the history of the country or the greatness of their leaders. It wasn't until Bede began translating in about the 8th century that there was any mention of the 7th century. Even that was not a true account for Bede wrote with a different dialect than most translators, a northern dialect. Then of course there were all of King Arthur's translations of the old histories, written in a southern dialect which is so different than Bede's. So much of the history of 7th century England has been lost because of the differences in the translations, which is why I need to go there!! |
