As one of the co-supervisors with @justincolson.bsky.social & colleagues from Historic Royal Palaces (I'm a little biased), this is fantastic opportunity to place the Tower was in the period (palace, arsenal, prison - place of consumption of all sorts of things), in the widest context. Apply! 🗃️

Just listened to this on my way back to Hull from Maynooth. Such a great overview. From now on I'll be sure to check old bookbindings for a lost tract about cats.

This is a great little book. A very useful introduction to the pipe rolls for students, and an essential aid for those of us who sometimes need a quick reminder.

Why we shouldn't call it 'Tyrone's Rebellion' (& I'm guilty of this too) short 🧵 I call it the Nine Years War (as much as I can but have relapses). Often still referred to as 'Tyrone's Rebellion'. Isn't the best term to use for a number of reasons. First, the word 'Rebellion'

A nice map, a useful map (lacking Alt Text though - what is shows, by colour-coding, which archive, of 14 possibilities, holds records for each parish in Yorkshire). Among other things, it demonstrates how varied local government is in the county and how boundaries shift... 🗃️
