This is truly excellent!
Make yourself a cuppa, put your feet up and listen. So many really good points made dispelling the simple 'bad king' myths.
You won't think about Charles I in quite the same way again...

Announcement 🎺: to celebrate #historywritersday22 I’m doing a wee #coverreveal of my most ambitious nonfiction ever: the lavish life of James VI and I. It’ll be published next autumn and promises sex, scandal, and sovereignty. For the first time, here is how it’ll look 🥰👇🏼

Spoiler Alert: Cromwell would eventually decline the crown but, in a surprise twist, an effigy at his State funeral in November 1658 would have him wearing it. Parliament got the final word on this after all, though Cromwell may not have approved.

Review of I am Minded to Rise in @DressHistorians
Scott has produced a clear and well developed investigation of the
clothing, weapons, and other pieces of material culture related to the various
Jacobite uprisings that occurred during 1689 1719.

#FunFact When 'Lord Protector' #OliverCromwell moved himself & family into Whitehall Palace after King Charles I execution he refused to sleep in the King's bedchamber,
taking Queen Henrietta Maria's one instead.
- Afraid the #ghost of late King might return to pay him a visit?

Brilliant documentary by Dr Clare Jackson. A historian unafraid of challenging perceptions & false myths on King Charles I & English civil war : The Stuarts. Clip from Ep 2

@bricabracaneer @Opera_North Very good Phillippa

[Mark Turnbull Author @1642Author]

📅#OTD 1641, King Charles gave assent to the Triennial Act. It required Parliament to meet at least every 3 years.
In his speech, Charles said he had given up one of 'the fairest flowers' of his royal prerogative.
Three days later he appointed opposition men to his Privy Council.
