As some of you might know, there's a website called Historical Tweets. Here are a few of my own contributions to this worthy endeavor. Have you got some? (Messages have to be 140 characters or less.)
Edward II:
Found someone to fill the void in my heart. Hugh’s OK with the rowing too. Wonder if anyone would fuss if I gave him some land in Wales.
Isabella:
Going to France to spend some time with the family and make a few business contacts. Sweet!
Edward IV:
Waiting for Hastings to show up with yet another widow wanting me to help her with her dower rights. Yawn. Will get rid of her quickly.
Richard III:
Those pesky bastards are out of the way, the northerners just can’t get enough of me, and Anne and the kid are fine. Yeah! I’m the man!
Henry Tudor:
Getting ready to go to England. Love Mum but wish she wouldn’t keep nagging me to bring lots of warm clothes and raingear. It's August!
Thomas More:
Really getting fed up with the Richard III book; think I’ll start another project. Agent says there’s not that much interest in him anyway.

Brilliant as always!
Aethelflaed: Mercia! Mercia! Mercia! That's all Ethelred ever talks about.
Thomas à Becket: Not doing much, just saying mass, hanging out. Who's that at the door?
John Lackland: Time to change laundries... they lost all my treasures in the The Wash!
Very funny! Particularly like the Edward IV 'tweet'!
The Wash....
snicker....
Thanks, Nan & Anerje. Nan, yours are great too! Loved the Becket one.
STAG, thanks for stopping by!
Great stuff! Love the Richard III one.
Oh Susan- I've got to visit this place- sounds lie a riot! Love your post (as usual:)
Love the Thomas More tweet--the real reason he abandoned the project. *LOL*
I like Thomas More :-)
Followed your link and couldn't stop laughing at Life's a 'Tweet in Teheran: "thx @gwBush those "how to steal and election" memos worked like a charm.
And to show you what a nerd I am, I'm rotflmao at this one from Fermat: Found truly marvelous proof that xⁿ + yⁿ = zⁿ has no solutions for n>2, but 140 characters is to little to contain it.
Thanks, ladies! Joan, love the Bush one!
