The Stuart History Festival

The first ever festival of Stuart History, on 5-6 July 2025, was a great success. The next Stuart Festival is being planned.

After a fantastic Stuart History Festival weekend, we would like to say a big THANK YOU to the 10 speakers and our sponsors @BoWSociety & @orlandmedia.
Also to Mike Beddoes, our livestream producer, and festival partners Philippa Lacey-Brewer & Jackson van Uden.

[Dr Erica Canela @ericanela]

I am deeply grateful to the historians who've lent their support and endorsed Zealous.

Thank you for helping me bring this book out into the world. 📚 ❤️ 📚

Further to yesterday's Stuart Saturday... I visited the Margaret Clitherow Shrine in the Shambles in York this morning. The shrine also recognises Thomas Thwing, a 17th-century martyr who was executed in October 1680 following the "Popish Plot" fabricated by Titus Oates. I try to come here every time I visit York.
