Passed my PhD viva with minor corrections! My book on Anne Boleyn’s life in Burgundy will be the next step. A huge thank you to my mentor Greg Walker @gregmw4, Thomas Betteridge, David Salter, and the staff at the Uni of Edinburgh for their support. #anneboleyn #henryviii #tudors

Just thinking about waking up on 19 May 1536 and knowing your husband ordered you the best swordsman all the way from France just to behead you. #AnneBoleyn #OnThisDay #History #Tudors #PhD #Research #Anne

A very tired s[h]elfie to say: finished draft one of the thesis and am officially retreating to my bed for the weekend. A few more tweaks and then it’s time to submit, after that, time to share my research with you all.

Reasons for footnotes:

1) Referencing
2) Additional clarifying information
3) I worked on this paragraph for 45 hours and simply refuse to delete it entirely
4) I want to be mean about an author but not, like, main text mean.

You know that moment when you look at a cat and think, “my word, what a graceful creature, what perfection.” And then you look over and see the other one and it’s just full derp, no holds barred, mid-licky? This was that moment today. #MaineCoon and #cat #cats

Welcome to Trinity Term 2025, sadly the last "real" term in our MWW Universe. But we're going out with a bang! 🥳 We have an amazing term planned, with fantastic talks, brilliant speakers, interesting workshops and, as a last hurrah, a final session of our OG MWW Reading Group!❤️

Happy #Friday! Mr Miu the #MaineCoon has decided that today his War on Flies starts in earnest and has proclaimed himself the Lord of the Flies after catching three of them in a single hour. #cats #cat

#ThrowbackThursday to when I held the poor Chief Yeoman Warden of the Tower of London prisoner in Anne Boleyn’s prison cell to tell him all about what Anne got up to in her spare time. Poor man. #Boleyn #Tudor #Tudors #history #London #TowerOfLondon #yeoman #historian

Am I about to disagree with the identification of a hand (TH2) in the Devonshire Manuscript?

Sure am. And I’ve got evidence to back it up too. Hold on to your britches, this is gonna be a bumpy ride folks.
