I enjoy medieval history, archery, and making stuff. (In the SCA I’m Cecily of Charnwood). Views are my own.

We are very grateful to Claudia and Kate, two researchers from Germany who have kindly provided specialist bags, boxes and their time to package the bones from the Clarence vaults. Their time and effort has helped with the conservation of these bones.

A few of the A Taste of Loyalty team were invited to chat with @AnneBoleynFiles about the project. It’s love on YouTube now if you’d like to watch.

@monmorley An absolutely amazing project! Congratulations and thank you to everyone involved. 👏🏻

[Michele Walter @MshellW]

A few highlights from my 2024. It was fun. I wish you all a happy, safe and enjoyable New Year. 🥳

30 December 1460 Battle of Wakefield sees Richard, Duke of York is killed, & his 17-year-old son Edmund. It led to an escalation in the Wars of the Roses.

I wrote a biography of York, who I unashamedly acknowledge as my historical man crush.

Looking forward to watching this! We don’t have winter Christmas here in Australia but I have experienced the challenges of medieval reenactment in the cold, wet and muddy months. My tip - it’s definitely easier to keep your spirits high if your dress hems and feet are dry!

[History Hit💥 @HistoryHit]

'Tis the season... to go medieval! 🍻

For a brand new documentary on History Hit, @MattLewisAuthor and @GoingMedieval got hands-on to explore how people in medieval England kept their spirits high through the long, dark months ❄️

Watch 'Medieval Winter' on History Hit now ✨

Even after all this time this interview discussion still sends shivers down my spine.

This research will be remembered as the incredible historical game changer that it really is.

Can’t wait to hear more from the Missing Princes Project in 2025.

Did Richard III really murder the Princes in the Tower? Join @MattLewisAuthor as he delves into one of history's greatest cold cases joined by Philippa Langley, who reveals groundbreaking evidence that suggests the princes really did survive: https://t.co/82J0j3y9K1

Um, … wait, what?

I hope my family will appreciate my addition of a battle of Towton theme to this year's Christmas cake.

✨ Christmas Eve and my #RichardIII decoration, along with his faithful boar, have taken pride of place upon the tree. 🎄

Merry Christmas to all my #Ricardian friends. ❤️

The best book of 2024 (in my humble opinion) … The King’s Mother by @anniegarthwaite

There’s still time to get a copy for Christmas, as a present for someone else, or to treat yourself! 📚

Gone Medieval delivers a fascinating episode! Once again, I am reminded of how much of what I was taught in school about the Middle Ages was wrong. This episode reveals how stimulating and unexpectedly positive the lives of medieval nuns could be.

[History Hit💥 @HistoryHit]

In today's episode of Gone Medieval, @MattLewisAuthor talks to German historian @HLaehnemann about her rich research into medieval nuns' vibrant lives, from their involvement in local politics and commerce to their spiritual duties and family bonds: https://t.co/AAFEaFiGlW

Why do I think Sir Thomas More shouldn’t be given credence as a source for the events of Richard III’s reign? Because he doesn’t say what I want to hear. Yeah, I can admit that. But there’s also a lot of reasons to treat him with care.

Fascinating talk on this week’s Gone Medieval by Aussie medieval history professor Mark Gregory Pegg about the Albigensian Crusade. I learned a lot. Definitely worth a listen!

[History Hit💥 @HistoryHit]

In the early 1200s, the Albigensian Crusade saw the church desperately attempting to purge heretics across Christendom. Today @MattLewisAuthor unravels the myths and chaos surrounding medieval heresy with historian Mark Gregory Pegg: https://t.co/GXBD5KJNaM

I’m ignoring all the recent negativity on this topic and instead am reposting this. I can’t wait to see what this will reveal.
