Posted on by

Another little poll – this time switching series to Niccolo. I’ve seen many discussions of which Lymond book is most liked, but not so many on which one people like best in the House of Niccolo.

This time you can only choose one.

Unfortunately an update to the poll plug-in on 25th March 2024 has broken it, so the results can’t currently be displayed. If we get a further update it may be reinstated or if I get time I’ll check the database to see if I can pull the data out manually.

Thanks for taking part.

As part of the Dunnett Centenary Gathering there is a Conference on 20-21 April 2023. The DDS have posted a call for papers on the topic of Understanding diversity in the 15th and 16th centuries.

What did ‘diversity’ mean five or six hundred years ago? How did 15th and 16th century societies across the world deal with difference?

Scholars and specialists in the fields that this topic covers are invited to submit papers of around 15-20 minutes and to submit abstracts (250 words max) and brief biographical notes by 12 Jan 2023.

Fuller details can be found on the DDS website at https://dunnettcentral.org/archives/8681

Having got a fair number of votes in the first two polls I’m changing tack a bit for this one to see who the favourite supporting characters are. Excluding Francis and Philippa and the various villains, who are your most loved characters? Choose up to 3 of the following.

Beware – Spoilers ahead! Finish the series before reading

Following up the previous post here is another poll about which character’s death had the most impact on you – but this time including the historical characters as well as the fictional ones.

Once again you can vote for up to 3 characters if they had similar effects on you.

This time I’ve added the option for you to add a character if your choice is not on the list.
