The Life and Times of The Bratprince: Queen Elizabeth I Document Up For Auction

A rare Queen Elizabeth document heads to auction in February through Clars Auction Gallery in Oakland, California. We don't often see a lot of documents dating back to the 1500s coming up for sale in California but this one, a signed indenture by Queen Elizabeth I, dated 1563, was in the hands of a major San Francisco Area estate. The framed piece tsates the terms of a loan Queen Elizabeth I took out through her financier Sir Thomas Gresham. Click here.

ABOUT THE BLOG

This BLOG was primarily focused on a gay male audience. As time has gone on we have happily welcomed straight men and women, lesbians, bisexuals and trangenders. My BLOG is meant for ALL people: no matter race, creed, sexuality, religion, etc. Some images may not be "your cup of tea" but as I stated the blog was designed originally for gay men and I was actually surprised when straight people became fans. I work very hard to post things that everyone will be interested in. However, be warned in advance that some images may not be your taste, but still are not pornographic and no more "dangerous" to view than a cologne ad in a national magazine. Additionally, this is NOT a typical blog. Yes, I do Blog...but not every day..thus you can think of this little corner of my web more as an online magazine. Thanks for being part of the Life of Bratprince!

About The Bratprince

Bratprince was a nickname given to me in high school. I live in the heart of Dallas, Texas. Our house was built in 1917 and sits on two acres. I live with my husband, Gary of 17 years. We were married in California a few years ago (one of only 18,000 couples allowed to do so). After years of collecting, I have what is considered the finest Imperial Russian collection in the South which has been photographed for numerous magazines. We have two beloved dogs, Paley and Diego..Diego was our 91 year old neighbors dog...we took him when she went into assisted living...but she still gets to visit him all the time and our cat, the BLOG star, Astrid. I work as a National Sales Manager for various companies and own and run a small public relations and sales representation firm. Articles I have written are published in a number of magazines. In addition, I currently finished working on a novel which is now in the hands of editors and agents. Feel free to contact me at Bratprince@aol.com or follow me on Twitter @williamkolb.
