Tuor and Faramir talk about maps and constellations, Eärendil grudgingly promises to make a good first impression, and Etheldreda of Rohan is called upon for her elf expertise.

Requiescat in pace, Æthelthryth.  An East Anglian princess, Northumbrian and Fenland queen, first Abbess of Ely, and now a saint venerated in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Eastern Orthodox churches, she is said to have founded a double monastery at Ely in 673 (which building was later destroyed during the Danish Invasion in 870), the present construction (built in 1083) of which is highlighted in the above stamps.  For this stamp enthusiast’s fellow lexicographer friends, in the Common Tongue Æthelthryth was known as St. Audrey, which gave us the word tawdry--Æthelthryth’s followers were known for the lace goods they would purchase: St. Audrey lace = tawdry lace = tawdry, for by the 17th Century, the lacework was seen as old-fashioned and/or of cheap quality.  Ouch.  Æthelthryth died on this date in 679, probably in her early 40s.

March 10 part 1: Maeglin and Eärendil learn more about the future.
