Adding a profile to the project

not so sure how to approach this. i'd love to see folks add profiles of people who've they've identified as being participants, present or attendees of the Filed of the Cloth of Gold.

this can be a challenge, as conflicting anecdotal documentation is widely available, however, with a little due diligence one can corroborate if using some of the better sources.

i have found that the following resource is a great primary source of much of what transpired during the reign of King Henry VIII;

http://www.british-history.ac.uk

For example, i found that Charles Brandon: Duke of Suffolk attended, by reviewing this documentation:

*** Note: you can actually find most of the goings on in Henry VIII's court, as it is contained in searchable transcribed text at this site. pretty amazing actually***

i've also found supporting evidence, say in the case of Sir William Coffyn, by researching at Google Books and Archive.org.

or course, i enjoy tedious research et al.

thoughts? insults? cake recipes?

forgot this amazing section:

Hi Tristam,

I know one way that I can help you / you can help me.

Give *me* a mindless list to search for of profiles to load into the Project (the confirmed / widely known). And then we can do another list for the more tedious / speculative / needs research for *you.*

i don't know how to do that really. i can only suggest going to google and searching using the following:

site:www.geni.com field of the cloth of gold

just copy and paste that exact line into google and you will get results just from geni.com

there seems to be quite a few profiles that reference "field of the cloth of gold" - i stopped because i had trouble adding them.

how nice of you to offer to help! thanks so much. :)
