I had a wonderful time at KCL’s Early Modern War Narratives conference last Friday! All of the papers were absolutely fascinating! @cemskcl.bsky.social

I am very grateful for the opportunity to present my own research into the non-elite experiences of siege in Newark! ⚔️

Today at the @cemskcl.bsky.social conference I learned that ghosts are a Jesuit conspiracy. They stick candles on crabs, then release them into graveyards to convince the unwary of the doctrine of Purgatory. (Either that or they’re just chaps dressed up in bedsheets.)

Some early moderns dressed in sheets with torches, pretending to be the deceased James VI/I.

Putting the finishing touches on some slides for tomorrow’s @cemskcl.bsky.social colloquium on early modern war narratives. It’s a great joy to return to the crusader I call ‘Bob’, whose story has been the jumping off point for so many fascinating lines of research since I first ‘met’ him in 2018.

A PowerPoint slide showing a battle between Matthias Corvinus and some Ottomans, with the title of my presentation - ‘“Scutum inde gero”: Truth, memory, and self-promotion in an early modern war poem’ - superimposed.
