ReplyDeleteWhat a very useful set of lists. I use it often in my writing (I am a Tudor Romance novellist: Published) The comment about RALPH not sound ing very Tudor period; Ralph Sadler (pronounced RAFE) was a minister and Privy Councillor under Henry VIII, Edward, Mary and Elizabeth. He was also a protegé of Thomas Cromwell, 1st Earl of Essex. Love your sight. Thanks.
