Today is the anniversary of the death of Sir Thomas Wyatt. He died at Sherborne in Dorset on 11th October 1542. He had been complaining of severe headaches since 1539. Wyatt was just thirty-nine years old at his death, but his poetry is still enjoyed the world over, although the majority of his work was not published in his lifetime.
To commemorate this anniversary, I thought I'd share with you some resources on Wyatt:
- Sir Thomas Wyatt the Elder - an article on his life
- Expert Talk – Wendy J. Dunn on Thomas Wyatt, The Elder
- What did Thomas Wyatt see in May 1536? - A Claire Chats talk.

Thank you for these links! I’m still going over the site, viewing videos, and even though I’ve been here several months now, it’s easy to miss these. Thanks again! Michelle t
