 King Edward II EffigyThankfully for school children, Shakespeare didn't write a play about King Edward II. Studying the plethora of facts and myths about his troubled life and death and the complex political situation of that time, would be challenging. King Edward II is buried in Gloucester Cathedral and his effigy shows the scars of graffiti through the years. Watercolour painting by Janice Lyall |  Neptune's FountainNeptune and his trident has appeared in numerous stories and films. Always portrayed as powerful, to relate to the storms at sea. The fountain above depicts him in the shallower depths alongside white horses. Watercolour painting by Janice Lyall |  Knavery at PlayI suspect the 'Happy' faced masks were highly sought after by knaves expected to make appropriate jokes on command and to prance around to the continual tinkling of bells.
