I do draw my characters! I work incredibly slow because of injury, but I love being able to create my own visual aids. Plus I hope to use them as refs when/if I commission professional art.

(Which I hope will happen this year, I've started my piggy bank… 👀)

Thank you @enortonhistory.bsky.social for this wonderful review. 😊

Really looking forward to this course! 😊

Now I knew the redefinition of the term because I am chronically online but kind of love the connection to Quaker meeting for worship! Seems like an article just waiting to be written, Mark!

Aww I love this! Thank you!!

🗓️DAY 3 - Trial of King Charles I
23rd January 1649
The House of Commons ordered that in writs, patents, commissions, indictments, process, and proceedings in Courts of Justice, the authority of the king should be replaced by that of Parliament. Not a good sign.

To Sir W. Pen’s (though much against my will, for I cannot bear him, but only to keep him from complaint to others that I do not see him) to see how he do, and find him pretty well, and ready to go abroad again.

Still time to apply! Come hang out with me in Providence to discuss all things religion 🔽

WHY DID THE WARS OF THE ROSES BEGIN, how did women help shape the political crises, what weapons were used, and just when did the wars even end? All questions Nicola Tallis and I cover during our week-long upcoming online course. More info below:

7 Jan 1536: At 10am #otd in Kimbolton Castle, George D'Athequa, Catherine of Aragon's #Dominican confessor in #Spanish & bishop of Llandaff gives her extreme unction.

She died at 2pm. (Lambeth Palace)

Crime and Punishment in Early Modern London and the Home Counties Crime and punishment in early modern London and the home counties is a rich area of study. Students will encounter not only the changes in the law across the period, but also the very real human stori...

I know it feels a long way off, but for those of you who think your August is missing a little early modern crime...why not sign up for the University of Oxford's summer school? I promise it will be more fun and less grim than you may think!

For those who like an early modern #cat here is a drinking vessel made in #London. On the chest is a heart-shaped cartouche inscribed with the initials "LTM" and the date 1676. You drink from between the ears. (Victoria & Albert Museum, London)
