@NotJustTudors Hi NJT team! I hope all is well with you. I would like to suggest that you consider recording a future episode about the fascinating Darien Scheme of the 1690s 😊 I also think an episode focusing on the Council of Trent would be another great listen!

@HistoryHit @NotJustTudors @sixteenthCgirl I grew up close to Wollaton Hall and it’s still one of my favourite places to visit 😊 I thoroughly enjoyed listening this episode - thank you!!

17th Century tapestry from #Peru - along with the birds and flowers there's a crozier, a tassled galero, an archiepiscopal cross, and either a very squat mitre or a biretta.

I think it's wonderful.

#OTD in 1600, the Huaynaputina volcano in Peru exploded. Leading to the deaths of roughly 1,000 people, the eruption also led to the onset of a volcanic winter and was the largest volcanic eruption in South American recorded history. 🇵🇪

There needs to be a history genre bookshop in London. With a coffee shop that sells keg beer.

Make it happen.
