#KingsWomenWednesday Two weeks ago, our thread was on John Heminges’ ‘disobedient’ daughter Thomasine; this week we focus on her older sister, Ales (Alice).

Slightly different #KingsWomenWednesday today, as we imagine how those of the women amongst the upper-middling sort might have dressed, an exercise that also demonstrates the issues we have with loss in the archives.

A new #KingsWomenWednesday thread by the wonderful Héloïse Sénéchal (@HMSenechal) covering Thomasine Ostler. I've had the enormous pleasure of watching H compile this research over the last 2 years. Thomasine's life is incredible, and I'm so glad that her story is being told 💃🏻

[The King’s Women @The_Kings_Women]

It’s #KingsWomenWednesday, and our thread is on Thomasine Ostler (1595-1621), the ‘disobedient’ daughter of King’s Men sharer John Heminges. Known to theatre historians as the plaintiff in Ostler v. Heminges, Thomasine’s use of the law courts has much to tell us about her life.

[The King’s Women @The_Kings_Women]

🧵Our first #KingsWomenWednesday thread is on a woman who spent a lot of her life on the outskirts of the King's Men: Faith Kempsall. While not closely associated with the King's Men, Faith's name crops up across documents relating to the King's Men's company members and family.

@stevenwatson101 Watson ❤️ How you doing? Proleptic intertextuality on the map yet?

[Jodie Smith @jodesmith08]

Haven’t tweeted for a while. Been struggling with ill health - both physical and emotional. Taking another LoA for a couple of months. Keep the C16-17 gossip coming. Who was suing who? Who cut who out of whose will? Whose apprentice married their daughter? Much appreciated.

Happy birthday to me! This birthday comes at the beginning of a much-needed 2 month leave of absence from the PhD. I spent it with my husband and kids and absolutely smashed them all at ten pin bowling 🎳 🙌🏻

When she made her will on 1 Sept 1635, she made it clear that she would ‘haue noe parte of my estate neither prodigally spent, nor lewdly wasted’ by her only surviving son, William.

Elizabeth Condell, widow of Henry (co-compiler of Shakespeare’s First Folio), was buried on this day 386 years ago. She was buried at St Mary Aldermanbury, near to her husband and their close friends, John and Rebecca Heminges.
