Every time I see #KingCharles trending, I get excited that people have realised how awesome Charles I was - either that, or Charles II has done something naughty again. Three years on, and I'm still not used to it!
It's hard to imagine how @historical_kate's follow up to 'Mission France' could be better, but her new book 'Mission Europe' (pub by @YaleBooks) absolutely delivers. Full review at gethistory.co.uk/reviews/book-r…

What a wonderful review from our friends @GetHistory, they've summed up Chalke '25 perfectly. 👌 "Once again, then, Chalke History Festival has found the perfect balance. It nods backwards while pushing forwards...It entertains as it enlightens." gethistory.co.uk/news/chalke-hi…

I was in my early 20s when I first read Rose Thurgood’s account of her life, written in 1636-7 while she was fearing that she and her four children would starve to death, such was their poverty. This was a completely different voice to those I was used to encountering in…
A colourful selection of ten #NonFiction books of #17thCentury & #18thCentury subjects, including: Actors, Actresses, Satirical Writer, Grand Tour Companion, Friend & Trustee, Daughter of Rochester, Friend & Servant & A Bigamist’s Wife.
Such a fun weekend at @ChalkeFestival. Give our @HistoryB00KBuff special a watch - to reminisce, or plan next year’s visit!! Huge kudos to @Tonisenior for the tech brilliance… and for the “oh sh*t, is this on?” 😂
A special on a rather excellent weekend at Chalke History Festival. youtu.be/C5M__joprbc?si…
The Stuart History Festival will begin in Worcester this weekend. Opened by the Mayor and Mayoress, it will be a great exploration of this overlooked period. I'll be speaking about Prince Rupert of the Rhine, one of the seven talks across that weekend....
Head to the trenches @ChalkeFestival as @AspectsHistory charged up the hill having taken out 2 Jerries. @LoadofBS1995 @jmdocs
What a glorious start to the weekend here at @ChalkeFestival. So many good speakers, so many entertaining performances, so much engaging living history. And it’s only Friday!
Find out how I went about finding sources to corroborate this broadside which revealed how the condemned William Wilson had a previous encounter with his so to be executioner, Samuel Burrows. 👇 thenooseofsamuelburrows.com/blog #TrueCrime #History

Only a week until I take to the stage at @ChalkeFestival and sit down with author Amy Jeffs to talk about medieval saints. I hope to see all the fans and roadies of 'Medieval Saints and Their Sins'. See you on the 28th at 4:30pm at the Henge Tent!
