For those of you who were intrigued by or interested in the early historical part of the "Evermore" story, namely the anti-sodomy rage that ended the life and reign of a King of England and destroyed Bran's first young love, that is historically accurate. That was Edward II, who ruled from 1307 to 1327, and who was killed by his own nobility. He was succeeded by his son Edward III who ruled from 1327 to 1377, and was much more tolerant and also a much more effective ruler!
As it turned out, shortly after sending "Evermore" off to Timmy I came across another gay coming-of-age love story set in the early years of the reign of Edward III. It's called "The Scottish Boy" and is available on Amazon (in paperback and Kindle) and a good read. Lots of well researched history and requited love (!!) that fans of historical fiction should like.
And, any comments about "Evermore" are welcome. This was my first fantasy/metaphysical/occult story, so as with all authors venturing into new territory... !?!?!?!?]]>Bensiamin2022-07-06T02:12:34-00:00Re: Corvus Puer - Writing Challenge

There is a memorial to Piers Gaveston that I have been to see. It is well hidden though. A mate who was building the nearby major road found it and led us on an expedition there in the seventies]]>timmy2022-07-06T07:16:56-00:00Re: Corvus Puer - Writing Challenge

Thanks also for kind comments about my story. I'm afraid I failed in my intent to reference all the UK corvids in the story - I forgot to mention the jay.
Edward 11. : There is a school of thought that suggests the Barons would have happily overlooked Edward's homosexuality had he been generally better at ruling, not made an enemy of his wife and more specifically not given undue preferment to Gaveston, who then rubbed the Barons' noses in it. I guess Gaveston was one of those nasty vindictive queens.
Digressing only slightly: ifyou like ballet and get the chance to see a production of the ballet Edward 11, go see it. But don't take the kids!
