Kevin Curren, a Tudor Scholar at the University of California San Diego, not only is co-author of the extensive Tudor Chronology but is site content editor as well. Although he has a very busy schedule, he finds time to answer questions, offer suggestions, clarify points, and act as final arbiter in matters of factual accuracy. On a personal note, Kevin offers me encouragement, understanding and motivation while guiding me to extend my reach. To me that is the measure of a true Educator. I am, and will always be, grateful.
	Bob Crispen, Embedded Software Engineer, The Boeing Company, my husband and best friend, is another true educator. Although he is a world renowned 3D graphics and systems architecture expert, he can make complicated systems understandable. He has taken me, sometimes against my will, through the maze of Web page publishing programs, browser parameters, graphics packages, MIDI files, and download times. He has taught me netiquette, basic web page presentation, and about intellectual property rights. Bob is also a published author. He has proofread each page for continuity and clarity. His changes always make my point better than I did. Although he sets such high standards for presentation, he has always told me I could do it. With his help, I have.
	Patrick Crispen, Graduate of the University of Alabama, and published author with two books to his credit, currently engaged in a successful speaking career. Our eldest son and Internet expert. He has taken the time to teach me about the Internet, and through his Roadmap course and Tourbus e-newsletter, hundreds of thousands of others world wide. He encouraged me to publish my own site, and when I had, he mentioned it on Tourbus prompting hundreds of people from all over the world to visit it. I am proud of him. And I am honored that he is proud of me.
	Robert M. Crispen, second son and EMT. Robert is not a systems expert, Internet expert, or Tudor History buff. But he is the most centered person I know. My surgeon allowed me to go directly home after knee replacement surgery because Bobby would be with me. Bobby absolutely refused to allow me to feel sorry for myself either during recovery or during the even more painful time of putting my web site together. I thank him. But he will always be Bobby to me.
	Foxy Two, a dog of dubious pedigree. Actually, he did nothing to help at all. But he is Bobby's dog, so I had to mention him.

A lot of great medieval type items are here.   Vatican Exhibit I found a number of beautiful items here. The Henry VIII document, referenced above, is from this site.
