#EarlyModern #17thC I'd be glad of some help with how assessments for these 3 levies were calculated. I'm researching a clergyman who paid £5 for the 1620 clergy Palatinate 'loan', over £6 in 1639 for the Scottish war (these seem rather steep!) and £1 6s 8d p/a (1634-36) for the repair of St Paul’s.

#EarlyModern #17thC A reminder to all of you who are in England and within striking distance of the National Civil War Centre in Newark: Edward Stockley will be giving a talk on Sir Thomas Fairfax on Thursday evening, and it will be brilliant!! Book here: www.palacenewark.com/whats-on/ins...

#EarlyModern #17thC Another terrific set of online lectures coming up!

#EarlyModern #17thC Forbidden Desire: main point re Mediterranean vs N. Europe taken, but it seemed like an exhaustive exercise in largely missing the broader point (until the last chapter...sort of). As a non-expert in this area what should I read as a supplement/corrective esp. re 17th C England?

#EarlyModern #17thC UK 17th C history people, if you're within striking distance of the Newark Civil War Centre, go and hear Edward Stockley's talk on Sir Thomas Fairfax there. It's at 7.00pm on Th April 24th. It will be terrific. You can book here - www.nationalcivilwarcentre.com/whatson/even...

#EarlyModern #17thC #skystorians - what are the best resources for 16th & 17th C witch hunts / trials in Scotland?

@lloydbowen.bsky.social, your outstanding 'Anatomy of a Duel' is a splendid start to my 2025 reading! Looking forward to your Poyer & Vaughan books after that, & I appreciated the volume you edited with Mark Stoyle too. Eager for whatever you come up with next! #EarlyModern #17thC #skystorians

Last week I posted a link to Jon Fitzgibbons' (jrrfitzgibbons.bsky.social) splendid podcast on the Protectorate for The World Turned Upside Down. Here's another - equally excellent - on the 'Other House'. www.worldturnedupsidedown.co.uk/podcast/oliv... #EarlyModern #17thC #skystorians

Thrilled that a friend has had his first article published! It's on Sir Thomas Fairfax, it's outstanding, and it's open access. Congratulations, Ned! And enjoy, everyone! #EarlyModern #17thC #skystorians www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Fitzgibbons on the Protectorate- the latest podcast from The World Turned Upside Down (not on here as yet). If you don't know of them already check out their splendid material so far and sign up to be notified when new stuff drops. #EarlyModern #17thC www.worldturnedupsidedown.co.uk/podcast/oliv...

I don’t think Gary Kuchar is on here, but picking up from my last post, here’s something else of interest for the English/British civil wars community… #earlymodern #17thC youtu.be/QHFNXOoXQ3A

Looking forward greatly to this! #earlymodern #17thC

#EarlyModern #17thC - although it's outside our period, something appalling for our disciplines is afoot. The UK Ministry of Justice is planning to digitize wills from 1800 onwards *and then destroy physical copies*. Those still on X - excellent thread here - x.com/onslies/stat...

What is going on with the feeds on this site? I can only access about 1 week's worth of posts on #17thC and #EarlyModern...

Greetings, 18th C people! I'm more of a 17th C person... Can anyone give me some help with this inscription from 1792? Is it a name (B. Gidley?) with a place (where?) or is this a double-barreled name? #18thc #EarlyModern

#EarlyModern #17thc - Great to see that The Cromwell Museum - @cromwellmuseum.bsky.social - is now over here!!

#17thc #EarlyModern Anyone interested in the British Civil Wars - there's a desperate need to track down Dave/David Plant, who helped to set up the BCW Project website. This was a SUPERB resource but the website is down and will soon disappear. If you can help contact details are in the post below.

I don't think the Cromwell Museum is on here yet, but here's the lineup for their autumn online lecture series. As ever, it looks terrific. Details and booking here - www.cromwellmuseum.org/events/cromw...

Well now, this is splendid fun from Manchester's! What is your Puritan name? Sorry-For-Sin Bangs here! And @greenleejw.bsky.social - take a look at day 13! Even here we have Eels 😀!

Current reading: intense theology (Davenant), detailed history (the Temples), George Herbert (sabbatical project), Thomas Goodwin (devotional), and a novel (Rose Tremain's Restoration). Common denominator? The 17th century, of course!! Guess who is absolutely *loving* being on sabbatical?!?! 😀❤️

Glad to be here! On the lookout for my fellow 17th C obsessives, especially those of you into the English / British Civil War/s / the Wars of the Three Kingdoms / whatever other term you prefer to use for this period!
