Delighted to receive copies of my new book! Read all about one of Elizabeth I's most unusual and neglected courtiers and ministers, how he rose from Midland obscurity to Lord Chancellor, why people said he was a Catholic and how he outmanoeuvred Burghley on religious policy

@OscarPatton @OOCDTP @OxfordHistory Many congratulations!

[Neil Younger @NeilYounger1]

Very pleased to see this article by my excellent @history_ou colleague Charlotte Brownhill!

[Parliamentary History @Parlhistjournal]

From our latest issue: Charlotte Brownhill's study of Sir George Radcliffe's management of Irish parliaments in Charles I's reign.

She shows his importance for Sir Thomas Wentworth's govt., but also how he struggled in Wentworth's absence.

@DavidMuttering @holland_tom @AuthorsCC @ChertseyCC Probably for the best; can you imagine losing a test match to the French?

@gvb1985 Might be more tactful to have them facing away from each other?

@tait_clodagh I think this practice featured in a story I read as a small child; a Ladybird book perhaps. It greatly mystified me.

@jj_mcgovern Very nice! I am a great admirer of brevity (it nearly killed me to have to include a subtitle in my book)

@LandsknechtPike My son has that book in English, and I assumed it was an English town (not that it really makes much difference). The church doesn't look very German, does it?
