Sidwell's father died, leaving her in the hands of a cruel stepmother. Jealous of her beauty, virtue, and generous inheritance, the stepmother had two corn reapers behead Sidwell with a scythe. Where her head came to rest, water sprang up.

Named after Saint Sidwell, patroness saint of Exeter. According to legend, Sidwell was the daughter of a wealthy landowner, and brought food to the villagers working outside the city walls.

Today in 1715 one of the towering figures of history, Louis XIV, died.
His 72 year reign remains the longest verified reign in world history, beating our Elizabeth II by under 2 years.
He enlarged France ...... and broke it.
His last few years were marked by personal & dynastic tragedy 👇

Lucky enough to have a peek at some letters from one of Marie Antoinette’s elder sisters this week: Maria Carolina, Queen of Naples, or ‘Charlotte’ in her personal life
These letters were written in autumn 1793, shortly before she found out that Marie Antoinette had been guillotined #18c
