[Tactics of War] Monday 6-8 PM
Eighth purses her lips and glares at her students as they file in.
“I hope you are all well and had a pleasant spring break. I apologizing for missing class two weeks previous but I see you survived my absence. Pity.
Now, please pull out your notebooks and pay sharp attention and take good notes.”
She lectures on the English Civil War (called the Anarchy) between King Stephen and the Empress Maud which occurred around 1135 to 1154 A.D. It should easily be obvious who Eighth supports as the rightful ruler of England, especially considering her marriage choices and ability to form worthy allegiances with the right men.
She also tells the story of how Maud escapes from a besieged castle - once cloaked in white and lowered from a snowy tower wall and thus camouflaged and once carried out as a ‘corpse’ and easily whisked away to safety once passed the guards.
“Now, for your in class assignment - and do turn it in before leaving - I want for you to write three discussion points for next week’s class concerning the difficulties and challenges women leaders have in wartime. If, for example, you come from the background of Miss Sun where gender is irrelevant, please discuss examples from cultures that are not as enlightened as hers.
Also, I would appreciate it, Miss Carter, if you remained after class for a moment, thank you.”
