@5alexander.bsky.socialIn 1596, if you wanted to show off immense wealth, status, and intellect, you commissioned an Astronomical Compendium

@nicolaharrisauthor.bsky.socialIn 1522, Henry VIll rode in the Shrovetide joust, wearing the motto she has wounded my heart. The event was recorded by Edward Hall and shows the king , using chivalric display to project power and charm at the Tudor court.
