Claudius, Elizabeth of York, and Tyrion
I know there are a lot of fans of the brilliant series, I, Claudius, so it is worth mentioning on February 11th, 55 AD, Claudius was murdered, most likely by his wife so her son, Nero, could become emperor; who are we to doubt Robert Graves?
February 11th is a significant date, too, for the House of York, being the birthday in 1466 of Elizabeth of York, Edward IV’s daughter and Tudor’s queen, and also the date of her death in 1503 at the age of only thirty-seven.
And on February 17th, last season’s Game of Thrones is available to tide its long-suffering fans over until the new season finally starts.

I loved the book and the TV version and though it is a bit dated the TV adaptation is excellent and the acting superb. I wonder if Derek Jacobi won any awards? He should have.
