I had a great time chatting with Jessica about Mary Marshall, Mother of the Maidens during Anne Boleyn's queenship. Thank you for having me back, Jessica!

The first episode of the podcast for 2025 is here! I welcomed back the lovely Sophie! 🩷 @sophiebwaterman.bsky.social

I was overjoyed to come home to find volume 29 number 3 of The Court Historian waiting for me! It's wonderful to see my paper on Mrs Marshall in print 🥳

It so is! It’s just mind blowing isn’t it? Why is this document not more talked about? It doesn’t bring conclusive proof, but as you say it brings more clarity! I wonder why he didn’t attend in the end?

This is incredible Lacey!

Document from the National Archives (UK) providing for clothing and apparel for Edward V to wear at the coronation of his uncle, Richard III. Edward had been declared illegitimate, so is referred to as Lorde Edward

This document details the clothing Edward V — declared illegitimate & referred to here as Lorde Edward — was to wear to the coronation of his uncle, Richard III

Edward V — the elder of the Princes in the Tower — would soon disappear from the historical record

National Archives LC 9/50, fol. 109r

My mini library. My shelves are organized by historical events, nonfiction and historical fiction. The small case on the side and the three books on the bottom of the 3rd large case is my TBR mountain .

I have some exciting news to impart… I think! I am currently writing a historical fiction novel about Elizabeth Woodville✨ My ambition is to also write about Anne and Isabelle Neville, Margaret Beaufort, Jacquetta of Luxembourg and I’m thinking Margaret of burgundy!

I've got a busy year next year. For more details of talks hop over to bit.ly/3SZgVoj

Oh I’m down for this!

How exquisite are these illuminations of Queen #CatherineofAragon & King #HenryVIII? From Catherine’s Book of Hours by Jean Pichore, c.1509, likely commissioned for her wedding by her sisters. @onthetudortrail.bsky.social thank you so much for showing me! guenther-rarebooks.com/artworks/984...

I wholeheartedly agree with this! When I started researching for my first book, I thought, "Can I really do this?" Now I've finished the first draft, and I'm sorting out image permissions. Do the research, tell the stories you want to tell, and the rest will follow.

An ornate silver toothbrush with horsehair bristles set against purple silk. At the bottom of the handle is an "N" for Napoleon.

Hello, #bluesky! Here's your daily dose of #histmed trivia👇

Napoleon's Toothbrush, c.1790. Napoleon brushed his teeth regularly using opium-based toothpaste. His toothbrush has a silver gilt handle and bristles made of horsehair, which would have been very rough on the gums. #skystorians

Can we take a moment to admire the extraordinary attention to detail in the costuming for #WolfHall from the incredible designer Joanna Eatwell? A flawless interpretation of Jane Seymour’s bonnet and gown from the Whitehall Mural 🙌

It’s been 12 years since my first book “In Bed With The Tudors” was published, inspired by the experience of becoming a mother and wondering how women survived this (and other bodily ordeals) in Tudor times. #Booksky #author #books
