Leathercoat Russet apple is mentioned in 1598 by Shakespeare in his play Henry IV when Davy tells Bardolph in Shallow’s Orchard that “There’s a dish of leather-coats for you” #HeritageOrchard #heirloomFruit

Now @rankinmccabe.bsky.social on the heretical cartography of Marlowe's Tamburlaine. I love the mappae mundi, so this one is great fun.

🎤 Looking forward to an early start this Saturday at Perth's Tyrants and Dictators online conference. Here's the link if anyone fancies joining: www.trybooking.com/events/landi...

The 17th-century woman who wrote about surviving domestic abuse In the 17th century, Anne Wentworth spoke out against her abusive husband and the religious institution that protected him.

Women have been speaking out about abuse for centuries! I wrote about Anne Wentworth, a 17th-century survivor of domestic abuse, for @theconversation.com #earlymodern

The horned helmet of Henry VIII, part of a full suit of armour made by Konrad Seusenhofer between 1511 and 1514. The armour was a gift from the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. The helmet includes a face piece with protruding eyes, a toothy grimace and a stubbly chin with ram's horns rivetted to its upper part.

Henry VIII loved to receive cryptic gifts, but the so-called horned helmet given by the Emperor Maximilian I is perhaps the most bizarre! In @parergon.bsky.social 42.1, Grace Waye-Harris analyses its long-disputed iconographical significance.
