OTD 1398 Roger Mortimer, 4th Earl of March, was killed at the Battle of Kellistown (a decisive skirmish near Carlow between the English forces of Leinster and allied Irish clans, including the O'Byrnes and O'Tooles). He was just 24 years old.
According to the Wigmore Chronicle...

@UniofNottingham @pablodiablo74 @UkNatArcRes @MortimerSociety I know there are others I could mention, but this thread would go on forever! You all know who you are - thank you, thank you! My love of History remains strong and I’ll still be watching! To my fellow historians, I wish you good fortune and long life. [9/9]

Greetings Twitter, it’s with a heavy heart that I announce I have left my PhD program and academia. After several months of deliberating, and seeing where the Universities are heading in general, this was the best decision for me personally - albeit not an easy one [1/?]

[Connor Williams @C_Williams1998]

@UniofNottingham Thanks to @pablodiablo74 for all the assistance and support, as well as the other medieval archivists at @UkNatArcRes. Thanks to @MortimerSociety for providing an avenue to present my love of History to the wider public, and our shared love of the medieval marches of Wales! [8/?]

Almost every judge I’ve identified as being involved in the rapid prosecution and incarceration of individuals who participated in the Southport riots has a history of letting convicted pedophiles walk free with no jail time. 🌞

A short thread on "two-tier" justice:

@alexsobel Ah yes, and are these “responsible bodies” called the ‘thought police’ by any chance? Who are on these responsible bodies? Can we come to a unified definition of ‘hate speech’? All sounds very Orwellian.

Astronaut Scott Kelly once smuggled a full gorilla suit aboard the International Space Station. He didn't tell anyone about it. One day, without anyone knowing, he put it on.

@JoshuaGLRice Gotta love those medieval brass monuments
