Stunning portrait of a woman in a plumed blue hat from 1740 by William Hogarth, who was born on this day in 1697. Totally love this one.

Francisco de Goya, Witches' Sabbath, 1789, Oil on canvas, 43 x 30 cm (Museo Lázaro Galdiano, Madrid)

"This impressive painting by Goya was part of a series of six on the theme of witchcraft commissioned by the Dukes of Osuna to decorate their "El Capricho" estate near Madrid. The main character in the scene is the devil, depicted as a large male goat who is being given two boys as an offering. It depicts an episode inspired by the 1610 Logroño auto-da-fé, and this set of paintings as a whole is considered to be a satirical criticism of the superstitions of the educated society to which the Dukes of Osuna and the painter belonged."

Unfortunately, I did not enjoy The Terror by Dan Simmons. It had such potential for me but the hypersexualization of the indigenous woman character was really upsetting.

My latest documentary with History Hit looks at the witch hunts in 17th century Iceland, where 93% of those condemned as witches were men. Now available at historyhit.com (free trial period available.)

It's finally here 🥳 UK publication day for my book, "Elizabeth Boleyn: The Life of the Queen's Mother", the first narrative biography of Elizabeth Boleyn. I hope my book leads to her finally being included in the Boleyn family's story. Buy it now from all good bookshops in the UK!

Starting a podcast ("Instant Classics") with Charlotte Higgins at the end of August. One thing we'll be doing (there are plenty others) is reading & discussing the Odyssey over several months. Here's why we chose that tinyurl.com/kfds9tkr

I've always loved the fact that the word 'sneeze' is the result of a historical accident. The original form, in the Middle Ages, was 'fnese', but someone mistook the 'f' for the long medieval 's' and wrote down 'sn-' instead. Fneezing sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze.

Hello Bluesky! I'm excited to get tucked in to this app, so to start, a little about me: I'm a historian and author who specialises in later medieval history, particular women's history and the English royal court, and have published three books. I also run a blog called Just History Posts!

The book cover of "Women in the Middle Ages" which features medieval drawings of noblewomen.

The book cover of "The Queen and the Mistress" which has a medieval drawing of a couple embracing, the man holding a hawk, with floral and striped patterns.

The book cover of "Royal Witches" which is blue with golden swirls, with a black and white figure of a topless crowned woman with a baby in her womb and various symbols around her.

Just finished The Princes in the Tower by Philippa Langley. While I really enjoyed it, I definitely struggled to keep track of who everyone was and how she came to the conclusions that she did. Not saying she's wrong by any means. I'm just not a historian so I don't have the context to help me.

I don’t have many reading goals for 2025. But I’d like to read more biographies and not get influenced by social media. A big ask for sure. But I’m gonna try!
