I had a good time, even though we didn't get there early enough to catch the Royals' arrival. Poop. There's always tomorrow, though.
We saw part of the royals' story today - a performance that set up the situation between Henry VIII, Katherine Howard, Francis Dereham, and Thomas Culpepper. Even though I knew what was coming, it was still interesting to watch.
We wandered the festival for a bit, and I found a hat and necklace to go with my outfit, and a new bodice puppet. I also picked up a new book by Eleanor Herman, called Mistress of the Vatican. I really enjoyed her two previous books, so odds are this one will be good, too.
My unicorn shoulder puppet attracted a lot of attention; I think I probably drummed up some business for the people who make them. :)
We also got to see a presentation on "Tudor Crime and Punishment." Pretty interesting. Incidentally, I also got to play a bit with a crossbow before the lecture; they've set up an armory at the Living History site, so I got to look at the replica weapons.
I want to follow the Royal progress tomorrow; I hope we can get there early enough to see it from the beginning.
