That Time Queen Elizabeth I May Have Been an Imposter

 Heyo! Back at it again with "That Time..."! Today we're going over the curious case of the alleged imposter who claimed to be Queen Elizabeth I and took the throne of England. For those unaware, Queen Elizabeth I was Queen of England from 1558 until her death in 1603. Born into the House of Tudor to the infamous King Henry VII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn in 1533. Her mother was beheaded in 1536 when Elizabeth was just three years old. She was not crowned Queen immediately following her father's death. She was preceded by her brother, Edward, and then her sister, Mary I. Finally becoming Queen at 25. However, there is a legend that the person sitting on the English throne from 1558 to 1603 was not Elizabeth, but an imposter. The story which was made popular by world-renowned author, Bram Stoker, starts in the village of Bisley. Around 1543 or 1544, Elizabeth was sent away to escape the plague that was ravaging most of the country. Her father had planned to visit

Happy 2021!

 Heyo! I hope 2021 is treating you well! Just wanted to post an update as to why my posting has been pretty non-existent. Firstly, I took the end of 2020 off to brainstorm what I wanted to do.

I got the issue solves and wanted to take a week off to write up some posts, but that didn't happen because I got sick. I may or may not have the flu. I'm still a bit under the weather, but well enough to get some posts up. So this week was used to write some posts for next week. That wat I am ahead. My hope is to continue with the "That Time..." posts every Sunday. Bring back "Fangirl Fridays/Casual Screaming About" on Fridays. Still working on what's gonna happen in the middle of the week, but it'll either be a short writing thing or something else I

That Time Martha Washington Named Her Cat After Alexander Hamilton

 Heyo! I hope you had a wonderful holiday time! I took some time off to do some behind the curtain stuff so 2021 can be the best year for my blog. We're starting strong! The first "That Time..." post of the year is dedicated to a simple line from Hamilton: An American Musical . Today, we're discussing if Martha Washington did actually name her cat after Alexander Hamilton. Let's get into it. If you are not American, let me introduce you to Martha Washington and Alexander Hamilton. Martha Washington was married to George Washington who was a great general of the American Revolutionary and then was the first President of the United States. Which mainly means she was the first First Lady of the United States. Alexander Hamilton was the first Secretary of Treasurery in the United States. He is also the titular character of Hamilton: The American Musical. He was also an aide to George Washington for some time. Why do I keep mentioning Hamilton: An American Musical? Dur
