It’s been said that everyone should work a service job for a year after high school, and I think that’s true but I think it should be a five-year plan including…

- living in another country for a year
- caring for the elderly for a year
- teaching for a year
- surviving as an artist for a year

A reminder there could always be a hidden Saxon church inside your house

Andy Marshall @fotofacade.bsky.social · 1d

✨Deerhurst, Gloucestershire. A kitchen in the nave and a bedroom in the chancel hid within plain sight an Anglo-Saxon chapel built by Earl Odda (a relation to Edward the Confessor). Re-discovered in 1865, it is the most complete surviving Saxon church in England. #thread

Something doesn’t have to be old to be historic and important

The east wing built in the early 1900's and was in essence rebuilt during WWII that wing is not particularly historic.

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 16h

Not all English eel-rents were owed to English landlords. In 1086 the Abbot of the Holy Trinity in Rouen held land in Harmondsworth, with a fishpond & 3 mills that payed a total of 60s. & 1500 eels per year.

It's not clear if, or how, the eels got sent across the Channel.

Meme. Medieval painting of two monks, standing in small room. The one in the center of the painting is likely the abbot, and we'll call him Æfterthawt; he's holding a staff and reading a book, and looking important. In fact, he's *trying* to look important. His eyes are on the page, but you know he's checking to make sure you're watching him do his thing.

What he hope you don't know is that tucked into his holy book is an exotic reptile mail order catalogue.

The other monk, whom we'll call Flip, is standing behind his abbot, on the right side of the scene. Flip's expression is "interested with an affectation of patience." He's holding a small book in both hands, and he's looking down a bit. But not at his book. He might, in fact, be checking out the abbot's...umm..."verstibule" and wondering what's under those robes.

Outside the window it's all green grass and blue skies. Inside, all it's book learning and idle monastic fantasies.

Meme text reads:
"English eels are
Abbot forming"

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 1d

The etymology of ‘turtle’ is interesting as shell.

'Turtle' comes from the French 'tortue,' which in turn comes from the Late Latin 'tartarucha.'

‘Tartarucha’ was short for the phrase ‘bestia tartarucha’ which means "infernal beast" or "beast of the nether regions."

Reading a book currently in preparation for publication I was amazed to find the author retrospectively referring to the US DoD in the 80s as ‘The Department of War’ - is this kind of retrospective naming now expected of historians?

The Gotha Missal: Fol. 68v, Text https://clevelandart.org/art/1962.287.68.b

This elegant Latin manuscript is known today as The Gotha Missal after its eighteenth-century owners, the German Dukes of Gotha. The volume was originally copied and illuminated in Paris around 1375 -- a commission of the Valois king, Charles V "the Wise" (1364-1380), one of the great bibliophiles of the fifteenth century and brother of Dukes Philip the Bold of Burgundy and Jean de Berry. Manuscript missals were not intended for the lay user, but rather for the use of the celebrant at Mass. The present volume was therefore meant to be used by the king's private chaplain and was probably housed in Charles's private chapel, possibly in his principle residence, the Palace of the Louvre (demolished in the sixteenth century). The main decorative body of the missal consists of two full-page miniatures comprising the Canon of the Mass and twenty-three small miniatures. The style and high quality of the decoration points to its inclusion withing a select group of manuscripts accepted today as from the hand of Jean Bondol. Bondol was active at the court of Charles V from 1368 until 1381 where he headed the court workshop and also served as the king's valet de chambre. The blind-tooled leather binding dates to the fifteenth century.

I find that a lot of military history books are long. I'm reading a book called Bloody Crowns that argues the Hundred Years War was actually a Two Hundred Years war

Y’all there’s a book coming out about the Maginot Line and it’s about 500 pages and I could sum it up in less than one.

It failed. It failed hard.

When not nailing heads onto spikes or ordering witchcraft ordeals, Ranavalona I of Madagascar liked to read… just not the Bible, as that was banned (to the horror of Queen Victoria). Here she is with her favourite book, Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy #womenwhoruledtheworld
