Nearly Headless Nick can't have died in 1492. He wears a ruff. It must have been 1592, right in the late-middle Elizabethan period. 1492 is early Tudor. here's a link: the first half of the page would be the relevant part. They didn't wear ruffs. Unfortunately, this voids my brilliant theory on Nearly Headless Nick and Perkin Warbeck. Ah, well.
In other interesting information, the first pressure cooker with a safety valve was invented in 1680 by Denis Papin. Isn't that interesting?
( a ridiculous number of memes )
