The Queen's Fool by Philippa Gregory is a 2004 historical fiction novel.
 Set between 1548 and 1558, it is part of Philippa Gregory's Tudor series.
 The series includes "The Boleyn Inheritance".
 The novel chronicles the changing fortunes of Mary I of England and her half-sister Elizabeth through the eyes of the fictional Hannah Green, a Marrano girl escaping to England from Spain where her mother was burned at the stake for being Jewish.
 Hannah is discovered by Robert Dudley and John Dee and subsequently begged as a fool to Edward VI.
 She witnesses and becomes caught up the intrigues of the young king's court, and later those of his sisters.
 As Mary, Elizabeth, and Robert Dudley use Hannah to gather information on their rivals and further their own aims, the novel can plausibly present each side in the complex story.
 "The Queen's Fool" follows Hannah from ages fourteen to nineteen, and her coming-of-age is interspersed among the historical narrative (see Bildungsroman).
 The book reached # 29 on the "New York Times" Best Seller list and had sold 165,000 copies within three weeks of its release.
A Lesson Before Dying Is Ernest J. Gaines' eighth novel, published in 1993.

In May 1948, the President of the Naval War College Admiral Raymond Spruance recommended a plan to establish a civilian professorship of maritime history at the Naval War College.
 Approved by Secretary of the Navy John L. Sullivan (Navy) on 29 December 1948, the post was not filled “for lack of funds” until 1951, when Thomas C. Mendenhall of Yale University was appointed to the position.
 In 1953, Secretary of the Navy Robert Bernard Anderson named the chair in honor of Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King, recognizing King’s great personal interest in maritime history.
 The Ernest J. King chair was named and first filled during the tenure of Professor Clarence H. Haring.
 At that point, there was only one other named academic chair in the United States for the field of maritime history, that held by the Gardiner Professor of Oceanic History and Affairs established at Harvard University in 1948.
