Old English people, help: what is the earliest manuscript that uses the letter K in an OE text? Afaict K is not in the earliest little poems; the Ruthwell Cross DotR is in runes, so it gets transcribed as if it contains K but Roman alphabet K isn't there. No K words in the earliest glosses–?

Reading book proofs and enjoying this grumpy queen from the Lewis Chessmen. She’s just spent a day at war surrounded by less competent courtiers, no other woman to bitch to & a husband with no sense of urgency to move anywhere fast. Strong drink in hand, she’s so done with this week #medievalsky

For some weird reason spotting spoons stuck in people's hats has made me happy ever since I was a little girl. Just seemed like a smart way to carry a spoon in case of emergency eating. Was it only a thing in the low countries? Anyway, some examples:

#booksky #skystorians advice please? Currently going through proofs & publication is on the horizon what are the best ways to promote your work? Personally I don't like being a centre of attention or lecturing to a crowd of strangers (unless they are students, that's different) what worked for you?

According to Hana Videen, in Old English, every woman was once a queen (cwen), so, yes. 😁

Coming on 14 October, teenage hero, medieval travel adventure story, set in the North of England AD 1093, final instalment of the Northumbria Trilogy, very slow burn romance, what’s it about?

I get eye-strain just watching the trailer. It's so dark, you cannot see anything anyway. They might as well just use the audio with just a black canvas for the text bits. The voice and the audio effects are eerie enough. Better grab the Lais and dive into Marie’s version…

Selbstverständlich, aber es muss schon einen sehr guten Grund geben, warum ein Buch derart in die Länge geht.

Birgit Constant, Historische Romane | Mittelalter @birgitconstant.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Ich habe eigentlich nichts gegen lange Bücher, habe aber bei einigen Exemplaren den Eindruck gehabt, dass manche Stellen nicht weggekürzt wurden, nur damit das Buch dicker wird. Daher werde ich skeptisch, wenn ein Buch über 600 Seiten hat.

111 years ago, on the 21st of September 1915, Cecil Chubb bought Stonehenge for 6600 pounds. He donated it to the state three years later on a few conditions, including a maximal entrance fee of one shilling. English Heritage takes wage inflation into account to calculate the current price. #otd 🗃️

Hab vorhin den letzten Brief meines Opas von der Front von Sütterlin „übersetzt“ und Rotz und Wasser geheult. Furchtbar, die Gedanken eines Menschen zu lesen, der eingekesselt für einen größenwahnsinnigen Idioten eine verlorene Stellung hält. Er fiel wenige Tage später bei einem russischen Angriff.
