Bassano-Impressionen !
Von Albert Schneider | 14.Januar 2012
Bassano ist ein 365 Tage Fluggebiet und doch hat jede Jahreszeit ihre eigenen Reize. Im Januar ist es der Übergang vom Winter in den Frühling, der die Landschaft so reizvoll macht. Ich hoffe,die Bilder im Anhang machen Appetit auf,s Bassano fliegen. Grüsse Albert

I spent 15 years researching the Incest throey and never found a single bit of real evidence to support it. Where an unmarried woman is in power, there will always be rumors about her sex life, and where she is feared or hated, as are all persons in power, the line of first attack will always be her sexuality. Elizabeth lived with this kind of rumor from earliest childhood, first about her mother, whose execution, based on such rumors, were the only way the King would rid himself of the wives he got tired of, then about herself. Far from the sexual monster the Incest group promotes, Elizabeth’s hellish childhood and teen years caused her to become about as uptight and sexually repressed as a woman can get. Sure she enjoyed flirting, who doesn’t?––but flirting doesn’t get you pregnant. Sadly the enthusiasm so many Oxfordians have for this misreading of the issues surrounding the succession damages our efforts to get historians to take Oxford’s authorship seriously. It’s what in politics they call a poison pill. Oxford’s mother remarried rapidly after the death of his father because that’s what everyone did in the 16th century. Only women who were independently wealthy were able to stay single. (If you want to read a real history book on this subject, read Lawrence Stone’s The Family, Sex and Marriage in England, 1500-1800.) Oxford’s mother’s letters about him to Cecil show her deep love and concern for her son. Shakespeare’s complaint about Gertrude’s rapid remarriage in Hamlet was based originally on Elizabeth’s seeming cold response to the death of his mentor, the Earl of Sussex, and even more to his fury at her treatment of himself following the birth of his son by Ann Vavasor.Much has been made of Oxford’s half sister’s claim that he was illegitimate, but bastardy was such a commonplace issue then that as a vulnerable teenager, he was probably the only one to take it seriously. Being illegitimate wasn’t the shame then that it became following the Reformation. It was chiefly a problem of inheritance. Shakespeare jokes about bastardy, as did everyone then, including the Queen herself, who was certainly one of those most effected by such rumors. Two of her most prestigious courtiers were widely believed, probably with good reason, to be her half-brothers, Henry VIII’s sons by various mistresses. As the wills of so many men show, fathers usually did what they could to take care of their illegitimate children. Oxford did the right thing by his son by Ann Vavasor, who became a valued soldier and scholar. Oxford’s tutor, Sir Thomas Smith, did the same for his son. Read my . If you’re still tempted to follow the Pied Pipers of Incest, you’ll have to discuss the issue with them. As far as I’m concerned it’s a dead end and a sad waste of time and energy. Truth is always more interesting than fairy tales.
