Hey Casey S – I’m from Brevard Co. too :) (Cape Canaveral)

I came here to see if my husband and I were listed.. sadly, no. (But we should be!)

I wouldn’t call Lindbergh’s second family in Europe a “short-lived affair.” There were indeed problems in this relationship.

“In order for that marriage to happen, though, Henry broke away from the Cathloic Church, and formed a new religion, Protestant.”-disapointed

Methinks Martin Luther would beg to differ…he founded the first Protestant religion, which became the Lutheran church. Henry VIII formed the Church of England, which is one of many Protestant denominations in existence.

to disappointed: – I agree, Henry VIII & Anne had a love affair that changed the course of history – not necessarily for the better, but a significant change none-the-less (and don’t get me started about the Tudors TV show).

And, in general, I would say that the description of the fall of the Romanov dynasty is insufficient, even as a summary. Much plotting & conspiring went into the overthrow and execution of Czar Nicholas II & Alexandra. Saying “the Russian people suffered & rose up against them” is simplification to the point of error.

How on earth is there no Anne Boleyn and King Henry the Eight.

They had a 7 year love affair, that ended in marriage.

In order for that marriage to happen though, Henry broke away from the Roman Catholic Church, and formed a new religion, Protestant.

How on earth did a love affair that eventually created a religion be excluded from this list?

Correction-it was Pedro I of Portugal, not John I. My bad.

@ac-I think you are talking about John I of Portugal-He had the body of his wife, Inez de Castro, exhumed and made her queen. He did this because the Pope declared that their children could only be legitimized if their mother were crowned queen-and she had died five years earlier. So he had her body dug up, dressed in royal robes, and crowned in a lavish ceremony-which all nobles were forced to attend.
