and for Hastings there was no time even for invitations, as he was taken outside by order of Richard III  (sorry Kim!) and summarily executed.

There was two whole years to send out the invitations for Lady Salisbury, however!

If  you turned Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewett's character on Ghost Whisperer) loose in the Tower Of London, I wonder how many ghosts she'd run into?
