This is both a research project and an experiment in creating a diary in the style of a Tudor-era woman. Research notes are usually found here, and my primary journal is here.

On ys day did Miguel take again vnto ye kyng's roads to travel to ye faire in Iola, that he might conduct business thereat. Margaret accompanyeth me vnto the markets and there did I see again the gentle lord who doth travel vnto Morocco whom I last met while in ye company of ye Maestra Ghita vpon ye last Pensic gathering, and I most pleased to see him well. So also did I observe ye works presented vnto ye lady Mairghread 7 noted yt my dependant brother, Ivan Matfeevich Rezansky, did gain especial note for his presentation of an embroidered bag. There also did I meet a man, called Wolfgram, formerly a subiect of ye King of Calontir, who spake vpon ye properties of spruce beer, and gave vnto me a draught thereof et a work vpon ye place of it vpon ye ships of ye Italian, Cristoforo Columbo.

In ye evening, when ye squires and other men at arms were tourneying in ye torchlight for their magestie's pleasue, Their Magesties did announce their intention to increase ye station and estate of ye baroness of Jararvellir.
