I always love it when I walk past the Wayneflete Tower, the only substantial surviving part of Esher Palace, once occupied by Cardinal Wolsey & Henry VIII. Now a private house & is actually set in the middle of a rather upmarket housing estate #esherpalace #waynefletetower #cardinalwolsey #henryviii

Join seven Tudor historians to hear more about the people who were connected to Henry through his queens. They spanned Europe from emperors to London merchants. @enortonhistory.bsky.social

Lovely to see Sarah Gristwood, @juleshumphrys.bsky.social and @melitat.bsky.social tonight at the party celebrating @drfsawtell.bsky.social becoming a KC #historian #historian

Have you ever thought about the fact that queens were some of the richest persons in their realms? Our Special Issue of Essays in Economic & Business History looks at 14th to 16th century queens as business owners, investors, administrators, or all around badass CEOs. www.ebhsoc.org/journal/inde...

…Such beliefs have, of course, changed, but they have never really gone away, something which Worlds of Fear and Wonder makes plain. It’s an intriguing, compelling and often moving book.

Absolutely packed with detail, Malcolm Gaskill takes readers on a journey into supernatural beliefs through the centuries. From flying nuns, to witches, ghosts and vampires, we look at the supernatural in its contemporary context…

Jane Seymour REALLY liked cash (see my new book on her). She also apparently really liked bowls. The Earl of Rutland was furious when he presented her with a gift of gooseberries and she stole the bowl. Here’s the pictorial proof 😆 #janeseymour #queenjaneseymour #tudor #tudors #sixwives
