Some
desk research today on two topics, one business and one pleasure: first, the
roman numeral system, which is not the most logical – why can’t 45 be VL instead
of XLV, why is 99 XCIX and not IC – but a knowledge is required for my primary
year 4 learner, so it had to be bottomed; second was an initial attempt to fill
in gaps in my knowledge of the chronology of the kings and queens of England,
cruelly exposed in recent quizzes, and particularly confusing with all those Henries
and Edwards, distinguished only (before now) by their roman numerals.
