This blog is dedicated to Piers Gaveston, Earl Of Cornwall. Piers, also known as Perrot, was the favourite of Edward II. Depending on historical interpretation, the definition of 'favourite' ranges from 'brother', 'beloved friend' or 'lover'. This blog will be a mix of historical narrative, personal opinion and hopefully some lighter postings! The Plus will cover other historical matters.

Helen Castor's 'She Wolves'
For those who enjoyed Helen Castor's book 'She Wolves - England's Early Queens', the BBC has her presenting 3 documentaries on the subject. They will be shown on BBC 4, on Wednesdays, starting Wednesday, March 7th, at 9pm. The first show will feature Matilda and Eleanor of Acquitaine. I'm looking forward particularly to Isabella, Edward II's queen, being featured.
