Six things you (probably) didn’t know about Edward VI , born #onthisday October 12, 1537 https://t.co/gqaEvoMdPT @TheHistoryPress #Tudors

[Westminster Abbey @wabbey]

Following the State Funeral, Abbey’s bell ringers are ringing a full peal of Stedman Caters, lasting more than three hours.
The bells are being rung fully-muffled – something which only happens upon the death of the monarch.

My favorite advent calendar is, as it has been for some years now, the Anne Boleyn Files Advent Calendar. If you haven't checked it out already, you should!

Politics and gender in coinage.

A Flemish coin of King Philip of Spain and Queen Mary I of England from 1557.

Though they were equals as sovereigns, Philip is shown larger and was honored in the inscription as 'King of Spain by the grace of God'. No mention of Mary.

Had a short stop at Heddal Stave Church on my way home from a short weekend trip today. The church was built in the 13th century and it is the largest stave church in Norway.

Had a great visit to Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim today. The church was built between 1070 and 1300, and is built over the final resting place of Saint Olav, who was a key person in bringing Christianity to Norway.
