By Adam Cuerden

Jerusalem at the centre, an O round a T
That's how you map things medievally
(Bünting Clover Leaf Map by Heinrich Bünting, a new featured picture)

This Signpost "Featured content" report covers material promoted from 1 through 15 March, unless I accidentally included them last issue.

Back in 2014 we did a poetical, jokey featured content report for April Fools'. We haven't done this in recent years, particularly as the monthly schedule meant that we rarely had a suitable date for it. But this year...

Poetry rising! The comedy beckoned!

I just wish I had started before April Second.

—Adam Cuerden

Featured articles

Boulton and Park

Goodwin Fire

Ten articles were promoted to Featured article status this period.

Boulton and Park, nominated by SchroCat: In the era where men were men, and women were too; Two gay men knew what to do.; As Fanny and Stella they trod the boards,; And with the police they crossed their swords.
Thekla (daughter of Theophilos), nominated by Iazyges: Co-empress deposed, to convent she goes; Then left to be mistress for Basil the First.; When she fell out of favour, another's dick she did savour.; Ain't Byzantine relations the worst?
Goodwin Fire, nominated by Vami IV: Burning passion is good, burning Arizona is not; But at least no-one burned when the desert got hot.
Battle of Saseno, nominated by Cplakidas (a.k.a. Constantine): In the War of Saint Sabas the Genovese grab as; The Venetian convoy sails past 'em; They stole a great treasure, much to their pleasure; By tricking the defenders to Malta's great bastion.

Richard Roose, nominated by Serial Number 54129 (a.k.a. SN54129): A poisoner (perhaps: is Renaissance law fair?); Accused of taking porridge and putting a powder within there.; Two people died, the eighth Henry strived to make poisoning a treason,; Boiled like a goose, poor Richard Roose was sentenced for that reason.
Marriage License, nominated by Guerillero: A bored official watches as a young couple signs the banns:; Norman Rockwell once again shows why he has so many fans.
Martinus (son of Heraclius), nominated by Iazyges: His father's Heraclius, his cousin is his mother,; Byzantine sexual weirdness really ain't like any other!
