Where to go when you need to know...

I'm always adding here...

Maps
Map of London 1817...I love to study maps and this one is a comprehensive street-by-street layout of London in the Regency

Language

Victorian Slang Glossary....well really, if you're going to be authentic, you need to know what a Blue Bottle is.

English phrases and their origins...making sure "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" is not a modern expression

Regency Era

Regency Dances...because not all dances allow for a scintillating conversation to take place

Jessamyn's Regency Costume Companion...As the novels I'm currently writing are in the Regency period! 

Common Regency Errors...this is a good start to how you address a duke on down

Jane Austen's World...need I say more?

English Heraldry and Last Name Origin...names can be the biggest stumbling block in creating a character, wouldn't you say?

The Jane Austen Centre...specifically the period recipes page

Brocades, Fragrance, Lace, and Powder...a short synopsis of Regency fashion with many good links to follow

Medieval Era

Wars of the Roses...which is when A Dishonorable Knight takes place

Wars of the Roses...another site, same name

Henry Tudor...aka, Henry VII

Royal Family History...starring Robert the Bruce, would-be king in The King's Rebel
