The reassurance that of course we will give the Tapestry back was a light-hearted way of starting my speech at the press conference. But I often hear the suspicion that perfidious Albion will hang on to the Tapestry, so it wasn’t altogether a joke! https://t.co/x3kPvKh9XC

As seen in 'King and Conqueror', Edith the Fair was the first wife of Harold Godwinson, and a powerful player in the dynastic struggles of the late-Anglo-Saxon era. But despite her prominence, surprisingly little information about her life remains... https://t.co/hc5l0o7KAF

In many early medieval calendars, 7 February is the first day of spring. Anglo-Saxon poetry imagines spring as a time of quickening and liberation, when the earth is released from the 'fetters of frost' and the waters of the world run free https://t.co/QJ96l0Himm

Around the year 1225, the nuns of Castle Hedingham marked the passing of their first prioress, Lucy, in the most special way: they made a mortuary roll for her.

Today's blogpost explores this poignant item, on display in our #MedievalWomen exhibition.
