Chivalrous Deeds Reading Challenge

I have been looking for an interesting and different challenge, but still staying within my reading genre. I will have to really think about what qualifies for this one.

The Chivalrous Deeds: Historical Fiction Challenge is hosted by Bippity Boppity Book. The challenge runs the length of 2011.

The general goal of this challenge is to as a Knight or Lady Knight, to visit as many courts as possible. For example, reading Victoria Victorious by Jean Plaidy would count as 1 visit/chivalrous deed achieved at the court of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Reading No Will But His by Sarah Hoyt would count as 1 visit/chivalrous deed achieved at the court of Catherine Howard and Henry VIII, etc...

You can visit any court from any point in history as long as the book you are reading is Historical Fiction. You can visit the same court more than once but not consecutively. Knights and Lady Knights have many great deeds to perform and so must not tarry at one court for too long!

I will update as I go.
