CFP for contributions to a special issue of Radical History Review on "The Politicized Premodern Past." I'm confident they would stretch the 500 CE boundary earlier for an ancient or late antique contribution. www.radicalhistoryreview.org/the-politici...

🎧 Can #rockstars be intellectuals? According to Jens Ivo Engels' new book "Rock und Politik," the answer is yes: #BAP frontman Wolfgang Niedecken is not only one of Germany's best-known musicians but also an astute political observer and commentator.

I really liked that you discussed not just all of Henry VIII's many wives, but also Elizabeth of York, consort to Henry VII! Obviously, it also fitted well with your research into Jane Seymour (www.routledge.com/Jane-Seymour...)

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...

In our latest episode, host Ellie Woodacre is joined by Elizabeth Norton and Valerie Schutte to explore their new books in the Lives of Royal Women series on Jane Seymour and Anne of Cleves.

We also announced the return of the Society's annual 'International Fellows Lecture': chance to hear about new research by RHS Fellows working outside the UK: bit.ly/4xUZnLS

The 2026 lecturer is Prof Amy Froide in a lecture co-hosted @echistsoc.bsky.social to mark its centenary year #Skystorians

Important reading on the right extremist danger in Germany right now, and its connection to East Germany: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

East Germany did not have de-nazification, and it did not (but needed, in my opinion) de-DDR-fication

Shout out to all #earlymodern #mobility and #maritime #skystorians folks 🗃️

Just a little reminder that my documentary The Real Jane Seymour is available to watch over on History Hit. It was fabulous to tell Jane’s story, based on the research from my new book on her: Jane Seymour, Patronage Material Culture and Image Crafting #janeseymour #queenjaneseymour #realjaneseymour

Thank you to everyone who made #KQ15 such as success, especially our hosts at @akademievedcr.bsky.social and @historickyustav.bsky.social

Watch this space for information about #KQ16
#conference #royalstudies #kingship #queenship #prague

The window that started the Thirty Years’ War when, on 23 May 1618 Protestant noblemen threw Catholic Imperial officials from this window in Prague Castle. Amazingly, they survived. The Defenestration sparked a Bohemian revolt against Habsburg authority #defenestrationofprague #thirtyyearswar

#KQ15 has been a wonderful whirlwind of papers, discussions and catching up with lovely royal studies colleagues! All that is left now is tomorrow’s excursions and then we’re off to Chile next year for #KQ16! Thanks again to the Czech Academy of Sciences for being fabulous hosts! 👑

Hosted by Laboratorio de Humanidades at the Universidad San Sebastian. The deadline for proposals is 29/01/27, and we look forward to new exciting proposals ✍️

Join us from 7-10 September 2027 for our first conference in the Southern hemisphere! In 2027,the conference will focus on war and conquest.

Third day of #KQ15 and once again the problem of not being able to in two or even three places at once - a constant problem of fantastic conferences, and right at the top of my wishlist of problems to solve. Just below the Mary Poppins / Tardis bookshelf of a shelf being bigger inside than outside
