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.

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.

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.
