Proper historian. Not a pseudohistorian. Well, maybe a pseudo-pseudohistorian. Searching for the Lost Treasure of the Noxgaga.

[Dr Henry Proctor @DrHenryProctor]

1st post! Most people just call me 'Doc Proc', btw. Particular interest: the strange byways and curious contraflows of history. On the trail of the mysterious Noxgaga of Anglo-Saxon England. Listed in the c.8th century Tribal Hidage, their location has always eluded historians...

@Her_Maj_Borg LOL! I'm feeling a tad nauseous...

[Dr Henry Proctor @DrHenryProctor]

On the Eurostar for my date with density. Not destiny. Wish me luck. #MeetingSomeoneOddInBreda

Latest from the frontline in my epic search for the #LostTreasureOfTheNoxgaga ...

[Dr Henry Proctor @DrHenryProctor]

@Her_Maj_Borg Did as you suggested. Found an old pre-packed sandwich wrapper. Only mystery is why anyone would pay five quid for it.

In Breda. Met Grand Gubernator (GG) of Chivalric Order of the Chest at De Klok! Calls herself Gina. Gina the GG. Gave me steer (ooh aah, just a little bit of one) to next Big Clue on trail of Noxgaga's lost treasure! I'll find it in Utrecht. But only after my vegetarian moussaka

@DrHenryProctor The amount of times I have accidentally shredded famous and irreplicable manuscripts!

If anyone can find another copy, you can, Doc Proc.

[Dr Henry Proctor @DrHenryProctor]

Well, what an evening! Turned out Coral Society member Terry had been bumped off. His housekeeper kindly let me have a rummage through his old research papers - where I found this! Amazing! The Chivalric Order is quite the androcracy, it seems...

@Her_Maj_Borg 😂😂

[Dr Henry Proctor @DrHenryProctor]

Found fascinating lead in late Terry L's research archive: 10th century 'Life of St Loubert of Lowestoft' contained clues to whereabouts of #LostTreasureOfTheNoxgaga. But accidentally destroyed in infamous office shredder incident at leading UK museum. Can I locate a copy?

[Dr Henry Proctor @DrHenryProctor]

@Her_Maj_Borg 🤣🤣I'd never live it down if that happened AGAIN.

[Dr Henry Proctor @DrHenryProctor]

@Her_Maj_Borg That's a good question. Something with a classical overtone. Maybe...Platonic Interaction on the Beach. (It could be like Sex on the Beach but non-alcoholic. Gotta keep a clear head when you're cracking those locked tomb mysteries.)

[Dr Henry Proctor @DrHenryProctor]

@Her_Maj_Borg 🤣🤣🤣That's the way to live! I could see myself emulating dear old Roger, just to unwind after half an hour's 'work'.

[Dr Henry Proctor @DrHenryProctor]

@Her_Maj_Borg I know. Terryble. But fret not! I solved the whodunit for them by lunchtime/munchtime!

[Dr Henry Proctor @DrHenryProctor]

Made it to picturesque village of Little Clew where I'll be overnighting in the Map & Mattock. Village is in semi-lockdown due to string of unexplained deaths among the local Choral Society. Sorry, that should be Coral Society. Very big on marine invertebrates here, apparently.

[Dr Henry Proctor @DrHenryProctor]

Managed to track down Terry Lean, author of 'Secret Societies and Their Most Secret Secrets'. Heading over to the sleepy Cotswold village of Little Clew to check him out and pick his brains about the Chivalric Order of the Chest. Hope I don't get sucked into another whodunnit...

[Dr Henry Proctor @DrHenryProctor]

@Her_Maj_Borg @JasperBeech Brilliant. Definitely need to be sitting down when you read that one. Not for the faint of heart!

[Dr Henry Proctor @DrHenryProctor]

@Her_Maj_Borg 😂😂

[Dr Henry Proctor @DrHenryProctor]

I think I'm being dragged into the maelstrom...

[Dr Henry Proctor @DrHenryProctor]

@Her_Maj_Borg Frankly, I'd be happy just to lug the amplifiers around.
