I have long considered writing a tome that embraces my scholars view of the King and the world’s history. Today, while grading an exam that I presented to my scholars, I realized that I should begin work on it. This was when one of my scholars wrote that “The Conquistadors came to the King’s land to escape the Puritans.” Yes, the Puritans were more scary than the unexpected Spanish Inquisition, which many of them would remember fondly from home. Also, another reported that the Columbian Exchange was started by Columbus after he didn’t like something and wanted something different.
