My perfect storm and greatest medieval scandals

I am sorry I haven’t been able to be around much this summer, but I have been kept insanely busy by—to use that highly useful cliché—the convergence of a perfect storm. As always, I’ve been fending off the deadline dragon, who has his own room now and has even begun to demand room service. I had to get some home renovations done, and anyone who has been down that path knows all about its pitfalls and perils. I had the cataract surgery, and lately I’ve been getting ready for my research trip to Israel. So something had to go and in a choice between sleep and Facebook, my aging body insisted upon sleep. So while I’ve been unable to participate in the “Name ten books that influenced you” fun, I’ve enjoyed reading your lists; it has been a great way to add new books to my towering TBR list.
Now one of my favorite websites, Medievalists.net, has an eye-opening article about the greatest scandals of the MA. I am happy to report that Philippe Capet’s shabby treatment of his Danish queen, Ingeborg, made the list. http://www.medievalists.net/2014/09/0...
