Can I tell you how very proud I am of the new series we have on TV tonight? It’s on at 9pm, it’s called ANCIENT AUTOPSY, and it’s on More4. Tonight, we explore the evidence of the death of the last Pharaoh of Egypt, Cleopatra.

I absolutely loved Dr. Suzannah Lipscomb’s Tudor Crisis Management course! Be sure to check out her website for this course and others like it—I can’t wait to see what’s next! @sixteenthcgirl.bsky.social Read more on IG! @allthingstudors 📸: Dr. Suzannah Lipscomb

I'm enjoying listening to @sixteenthcgirl.bsky.social on "British Scandal"! Dispelling some old myths about Anne Boleyn, and putting forward a fascinating new theory about Mark Smeaton. I'd recommend giving this a listen! open.spotify.com/episode/1lkU...

This intervew with Dr. Noah Charney by @sixteenthcgirl.bsky.social in her "Not Just the Tudors" podcast is well worth your attention. Georgio Vasari shaped how we understand art history today and an understanding of his life and work is therefore very important. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

In 1518 one woman's mysterious dance sparked an epidemic, leading 400 people to dance wildly for weeks. Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Dr. Lynneth J. Miller Renberg to find out more about the bizarre Dancing Plague: podfollow.com/not-just-the... @sixteenthcgirl.bsky.social #Tudors #podcast

Thank you!

I feel bound to point out that Robert Prevost holds dual American/Peruvian citizenship, and also that he's the first US pope in history. Pope Francis was (Latin) American.

A thread of all the posters we’ve created for our department to show the insight of historians. Some are in our curriculum and other’s have valuable insight that can help students’ understanding of the past and the discipline of history. 🧵

Are you listening to the fantastic Katharine of Aragon Legacy Lectures, organised by @drowenemmerson.bsky.social and @onthetudortrail.bsky.social ? I just heard the very thought-provoking lecture by @sixteenthcgirl.bsky.social on recovering lost voices in historical practice.

In today's Not Just the Tudors podcast, @sixteenthcgirl.bsky.social and biographer Laurence Bergreen discuss Christopher Columbus's four perilous voyages and the devastating impact on indigenous populations of one of history's most debated figures: podfollow.com/not-just-the... #History #podcast

I signed up for #historyhit so I could watch @sixteenthcgirl.bsky.social’s series about the Dissolution of the monasteries, for Year 12. I didn’t realise there were so many different programmes and series to watch, I think this could be dangerous for me #historyteacher

Lots of money was made by dissolving the monasteries in the 16thC (some of it used to endow the institution that pays most of my salary). The monks found work, but where did the nuns go? Fascinating #NotJustTheTudors pod from @sixteenthcgirl.bsky.social. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

Catching up on Not Just the Tudors and delighted to hear the brilliant @thehistoriann.bsky.social discussing piracy and the Spanish Pacific with @sixteenthcgirl.bsky.social . More early modern #Pacifichistory, please! 🗃️ open.spotify.com/episode/75hT...

Fascinating. Burial place of the Scrope family. One of Turner's many pictures of the Abbey:

27 Dec 1539: Anne of Cleves reaches #England #otd. She had left home on 26 Nov. (St. John's Oxford)

Look at the utter breathtaking beauty of these ruins at Easby. They’ve inspired many artists, including Turner. But the story behind them is not pretty. NEW SERIES: it ‘A World Torn Apart: The Dissolution of the Monasteries’ coming very soon to History Hit TV.

There is still more work to be done in getting women writers the support and recognition they deserve. Support our Big Give #ChristmasChallenge and help us open the doors to the writers of tomorrow, providing them with access to the tools and skills they need to share their stories and expertise.

It is clear that some prejudice still exists around the perception of women’s writing amongst male readers, for most an unconscious bias but sustained by the way the publishing industry commissions, markets and promotes titles by men and women to male and female readers. (2/2)

2023 research shows that only 19% of readers of the top 20 bestselling female fiction authors are male. (1/3)

I can hear my five-year-old rehearsing lines for their nativity play. Consummate professional.
