Just think in the very year Rebekah Bateman died and was buried in the ground England declared war with France because of Buckingham's squabbles with Richelieu and his abortive attempt to take a fleet to help French Huguenots defend La Rochelle. It was also the year that the dramatist Thomas Middleton died and Francis Bacon wrote his 'New Atlantis. Whilst on the International front Reykjavik was attacked by pirates, the Moghal Emperor and tyrannical ruler of Delhi, Jahangir died only to be replaced by his even more tyrannical son who had all his relations killed in order to secure his position, whilst in the same year Rembrandt painted 'The money Changer'. <br /><br />Rebekah Bateman died in interesting times!Many Coatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732551151566260424noreply@blogger.com
