Gay Ann Rogers' husband is a retired history professor, which certainly came in handy when Gay Ann developed an interest in Queen Elizabeth I and her contemporaries and designed projects using that information. He has written small booklets on Mary, Queen of Scots and Bess of Hardwick that stitchers interested in English history might want to purchase.

I've read his supplemental material on Queen Elizabeth I which was part of Gay Ann's Portrait of Queen Elizabeth I class and found the articles interesting, scholarly and informative. I have not seen these so I can't comment on their value. There is a brief introduction to the booklets on Gay Ann's website plus links to purchase if you are so inclined. I don't know how long these will be on sale so I suggest you act sooner rather than later if you are interested.
