In my Tudor class I cover the kings, queens, and nobles but each week I also include a ‘daily life in Tudor England’ segment. I’ve done hygiene and education and this week I’m doing food so thought it would be cool if I baked Tudor biscuits for everyone! 😛 #tudors

"It is an old prerogative of kings to govern everything but their passions." —The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens

Tostig and Stamfordbridge: By many accounts, the blame for Harold Godwineson’s failure to stop William’s invasion can be laid on his brother Tostig’s shoulders. It’s very unpopular to defend Tostig, but I keep wondering if he was a bit misunderstood. historicalbritainblog.com/tostig-and-s...

There is an Australian spider called a Sparklemuffin. Now that’s something you know. #spiders

First attempt done. I was meant to roll the dough into balls, which I did, but I squished them a bit resulting in the cracking. Won’t do that next time. They taste a little sweet, with a bit of mild spiciness from the herbs. Will absolutely be making these again. #tudorhistory #Tudors

Today I’m making a Tudor dessert from the book The Good Huswives Handmaid, published in 1597: short cakes. #Tudors #history #tudorhistory

I've been watching a lot of the UK Antiques Roadshow the past few months and nearly every single person, upon hearing the value of their item, says, 'oh, I won't sell it'. Just once I'd like to hear someone say, 'Oh, I won't sell it, I'm being buried with it." 😂🤣😂
