This is the best format for me:
* Use a plain text file (use TextEdit or NotePad, definitely NOT Microsoft Word)
* Each line of the file is for a different king, in order
* A line consists of NAME + tab + TITLE + tab + DATES + tab + AKA + tab + INFO
NAME is the first name of the king or queen
TITLE includes any appellations or titles that follow the name
DATES are the years spent reigning
AKA is for alternate forms of the name (seperated by commas if more than one)
INFO is for brief misc. information
tab is the tab key, separating each field
Here are two example lines:
Knud
tabI den Store
tab1018-1035
tabCanute
tabsaint
Frederik
tabVII
tab1848-1863
tabtab
tab = the tab key, since it will not appear in the message
* Attach the text file to an email to
mike-AT-behindthename.com If you feel really industrious you can give me a VERY brief description of the history of the Danish monarchy so I will know what to write in the introduction. :)
