I first read about it circa 40-45 years ago, in an old National Geographic, possibly in the collection "This England". :^)
Just a thought, wondering if their “Virgin Queen” is where Merry Ol England developed It’s penchant for buggery? =-O
Do you have a ping list for these history/anthropology/whatever posts?
If you do please add me.
You drag up some interesting stuff.
Though I have no training in it I love all types of history.
