What an amazing first day at Harvington History Festival 2025! π Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday! @hrcastor @anniegarthwaite @NicolaTallis @NathenAmin @jpwarchaeology
Love this review for me talk yesterday from Kayleigh Barnett over on the newsletter place. Public history need not be boring!
ππΎ Huge thank you to everyone who came out today for day 1 of Harvington Hall's flourishing history festival. I think you enjoyed my exploration of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York's relationship. History is cool π.
It is difficult to describe the feeling when reading, TOUCHING EVEN, Titulus Regius, the act passed in Richard III's only parliament which set out his claim to throne. It begins "To the high and mighty Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester". In my latest newsletter now.
An excellent review for 'Son of Prophecy: The Rise of Henry Tudor' by Gavin over on Goodreads, who judges it to be 'superb, well researched, very well written' and a full 5-stars. Excellent! Go pick up your copy now!
To write about historic documents is one thing - to TOUCH historic documents and see how the colours shimmer in the light, is another. Also, I think a Beaufort portcullis on Tudor green and white is the coolest thing I've seen. Pictures in the newsletter.
Coming to the newsletter tomorrow, looking back at some of the extraordinary documents I was able to see during a recent trip to the National Archives. This was a beautiful and mind-blowing experience. My followers will get it first thing in the morning!
π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ Two weeks today I return to the heart of Carmarthenshire to talk about a special man who once set the area ablaze - Owain Glyn Dwr. π° And what better place to hear this talk than in Glansevin, a Georgian mansion near Llangadog at the foot of the beautiful Black Mountain.
