Only Albrecht Durer could make the old trope of 'Death And The Maiden' so beautiful. Dating from 1503, it's title is actually 'The Coat Of Arms Of Death'. #13MorbidMondays #Durer #Gothic #medieval #art

When I told my family I was foraging yesterday, they assumed I meant in my cupboards. 😂 I had a really fab time with Vincent of #RamblersFare learning about medieval medicinal plants, wildflower salads and toxicity! #Foraging

King’s Lynn town centre from the air. The green copper dome belongs to the Majestic Cinema, opened in 1928 as an Art Deco picture house. Tower Street leads into the medieval heart of one of England’s great Hanseatic ports, whose wealth created its remarkable historic streetscape. #KingsLynn #Norfolk

Begging for a chance for Alan Shearer next week to fittingly say: “Harald Hardrada, Roald Amundsen, Vidkun Quisling, your boys took one hell of a beating!”

It's worth knowing that Medievalists with Disabilities were instrumental in getting these spaces established. We lobbied & advised @imc-leeds.bsky.social on the need for them. Original quiet room supplies were donated by yours truly, from my postdoc #IMC2026 #MedievalSky 🗃️

siegfried the funniest soul calibur character for being a cartoon Beautiful Man who's constantly miserable due to the medieval equivalent of a high school prank turned deadly and he's always saying shit like "Is there any hope of me being saved...?" while waving a gigantic sword around

Heh. but also an opportunity for a fun history fact: The Normans were more descendents of kids of Norse settlers in Britain setting up in France than Scandinavian. Partly why they worked so hard to paint themselves as the latter, culturally. Medieval version of Americans pretending to be Irish.

Curious English MUMPSIMUS /ˈmʌmp.sɪ.məs/ Someone who stubbornly clings to an old belief or mistake, even after it’s been shown to be wrong. From Medieval Latin, born from a famous misreading that refused to be corrected. #CuriousEnglish #WordOfTheDay

Did you know plenty of historical figures died riding a horse? Alexander the 3rd, William the conqueror, Louis 2 through 5, Genghis Khan... Even a pope! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

*correctly guesses the name of a medieval torture device* everyone at the table in unison: and why do you know that???

Lance/Halberd won out all the suggestions!! Yarrow's older sister - Zinnia Mugwort Let's just add to her lore that she's proficient with multiple weapons, but prefers polearms for open combat - otherwise poisoned daggers for assassination ops :) #furry #furryart

Humans transitioning away from an all-blood diet in the middle ages was a mistake

Whipped up a little hat for the Abbey Medieval Festival. And it goes great with the little spectacles I got online. I just need to remember to draw my eyebrows where they’re supposed to be, usually I draw them higher for my other glasses.

How about some electronic medieval latin? Tw: flashing lights.

Muck Spout Tod's Word Of The Day: 26 #wordofday #medieval #history

The (supposed, make of it what you will) linguistic origin of English meat words. They largely stem from French following the Norman Conquest of 1066. While English-speaking peasants raised the livestock, French-speaking nobles used different terms for the meat they ate. #language #english
