June 19th Remembering Piers Gaveston

 This day, of course, marks the anniversary of Piers Gaveston.  I’ve really neglected this blog this year.  Not because of a wane in my interest, but because there has been a lot going on, and there is nothing new to add.  Kathryn Warner’s excellent blog on Edward II contains everything you need to know about Piers Gaveston.  But I couldn’t let this day pass without remembering Piers and what happened to him.  RIP Piers Gaveston.
