I am not quite sure how this works, but here's a free open source editable historical map that's pretty decent on medieval Europe.

#medievalsky Does anyone know (or, of where I find out!) who the drafters of med. Eng. legislation were? Not the individuals themselves, but whether it was the speaker, a cttee/cliques, random MPs? And how (if) they were chosen. E.g. G. Dodd's done a lot on drafting but not quite this specifically.

One of the less known aspects about the Easter Rising is that Indian students at UCD also took part & were then deported by the British authorities for it. Among those students was V.V. Giri who became president of India and said “when I am not an Indian, I am an Irishman”

@adamchapman.bsky.social Out of curiosity, do we ever still see the phrase 'I am grateful to [X body] for providing the research funds for this article', etc? Articles, not books or projects?

For today's #MosaicMonday a hilarious #Roman mosaic depicting a boisterous #dog knocking over a basket and pulling out the contents. Life without #dogs is possible but pointless! 😊 On display at the Archaeological Museum Irbid/Jordan. 🏺 📷

And for anyone who is interested, I did learn how to turn off gemini in google. Go to your mail settings. In the General Tab, scroll down to "Google Workspace smart features" and click on it, and then just turn off Gemini. It won’t ask you to let gemini summarize or write anything. #AcademicSky

Still Life with, er, soy, white pepper, tomato sauce and Cypress Hill. Oh, and tuppence. Move over Cézanne, you got yerself some competition 🫣

Finished! It gives me great pleasure to introduce my new book... "The Crusader Storm: A Global History of the Holy War" A history of the Crusades and the Middle East (1097-1187) told from ten different cultural perspectives. Just sent off to the publishers.

Castle papers wanted! @gunpowderdan.bsky.social, something on the creation of holes in them perhaps?

La longue nécrologie de Pierre Nora par Antoine Flandrin dans Le Monde est excellente : plutôt qu’un éloge convenu, un portrait précis, équilibré et sans concessions, rappelant les controverses historiographiques, mais aussi, entre autres, ses propos honteux de 2011 sur le génocide des Arméniens.

@sarannmcd.bsky.social Hi, I hope I'm not being rude. But, I don't suppose you could briefly expand on why records of Champenois religous houses markedly decline after the 13th C? (Or point me to where you already do!) Thanks very much!

I'm looking at an index where 'Agriculture' has mistakenly been left out, leading to a brilliant series of sub-entries for 'Adultery', including 'Adultery and hiring fairs', 'Adultery and ploughing contests', 'Adultery and threshing', and 'Adultery and relations between crofters and lairds'.

When will she be President?

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

A Georgian townhouse plus basement simply isn't big enough, darling. One must have another basement for one's cinema. Now one one must fill it it. And pay compensation. And restore the historic fixtures. One is double-gutted to discover that, even in Mayfair, one can't simply TAKE THE EFFIN' PISS.

If there's a 𝐝𝐮umvirate, 𝐭𝐫𝐢umvirate, 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐝umvirate, etc, what's the word for an umvirate? Or perhaps, sinnce there can't be a coalition of one, the word for a single portion of them? #words #nosillyquestions #sillyquestions #English

We're participating in the ONS Living Costs and Food Survey for the next two weeks. The diary they gave us to fill out has some (clearly long unchanged) examples. These are a window into a vanished world! "Payphone", "BHS", a pint or a G&T for £2.50. Mars bar on a train for 40p

@pincognita.art Hi thanks for a follow! Have supported your campaign! Would support dogs too :)

This is really good.

Whenever right-wingers deride empathy, I am reminded of this quote from U.S. Army psychologist Gustave Gilbert who interviewed the Nuremberg war criminals.

Dumbasses.

I’m teaching an advanced online class in medieval Latin from May 27 to July 3 as part of the Marco Summer Language Program. This would be good preparation for the Toronto Level II exam in September, but of course it would have other uses too. marco.utk.edu/summerlangua... #medievalLatin #medievalSky

Has anyone ever accessed L. E. James, 'The Career and Political Influence of William de la Pole, First Duke of Suffolk, 1437–50', unpublished B.Litt. thesis (Oxford, 1979)? Not sure I can get to the Bodleian... #Medievalsky #Theses

Parts of #Haringey, North London, have a modern reputation for violence. This is undeserved. In fact, such a reputation goes back to at least 1461 when one unlucky chap, Thomas Thorpe, was 'despoiled of all his goods' and 'beheaded and put to dethe, in Haryngey Park'. Plus ça change! #Medievalsky

Excellent news, wth a Glastonbury-level line up.

Crushed minted peas, anyone? Obviously brought to you by Sir William Tailboys, described by the Commons as a 'contynuell Breker of your peas'. #Medievalsky
