It's kind of wild that you only had to be 57 years old to be simultaneously an Elizabethan and live through the Restoration of Charles II

Send help #earlymodern #paleography wizards. What is this abbreviation “blu”? Context suggests it to be a color (logically black) but I’m stuck. Grateful for any suggestions!

Hello again (even more) new followers! Lovely to see so many people joining and (I hope) interested in #earlymodern history. In the spirit of sharing more ideas and what I'm working on, here's a blog post about 'perishables' in the East India Company archives. blogs.cardiff.ac.uk/history-at-c...

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

Bluesky academics, let’s get to know each other! Quote this & tell me 1) a project you are working on & 2) an idea/theory you aren’t working on but keep thinking about 1) the wardrobe and material legacies of King Charles I 2) changing patterns in female agency over the course of the civil wars

Quote and tell me, because I’m curious to know: what book that you are currently reading would you recommend? I’ll start: Adam Smyth’s The Book Makers. Such a lively history of mostly fragmentarily known lives of book people. #books #rarebooks #bookhistory #earlymodern

Red, black and white paper cover of a hardback book with as its titel ‘The Book Makers. A History of the Book in 18 Remarkable Lives’ by Adam Smyth. The cover depicts people working in different parts of book production, such as binding, printing, papermaking etc.

Jennifer Wu and @jemmafield.bsky.social discuss the striped garment in the painting. Striped clothing originally associated with exotic figures and non- Christians. But as striped Indian textiles become popular in Englad, particularly for men, the moralising messages become more complex.

The people I know panicking most about Trump possibly winning in 2024? Not white liberals. Immigrants. Iranian. Chilean. Argentinian. People who know that governments can turn on a dime, go from a democracy to a dictatorship in a day. They’ve seen this happen before, and they know the signs.

James VI of Great Britain! What did Britain mean? Gustav II Adolf clearly got the distinction between the Royal House of Great Britain, and the separate kingdoms of England and Scotland as political entities. Support could come from all 3 at once. Obvious really 😉 #DailyDoc #EarlyModern #17thC

People do not seem to think that understanding history deeply helps with understanding present problems, and it’s fascinating to see how the erosion of the humanities has contributed to this.

This week in 1612, Henry, Prince of Wales received a doublet of “rich cloth of gold tissued on black ground cut with & upon carnation taffeta & garnished with gold & silver parchment lace.” The cloth of gold tissue was the most expensive fabric recorded in his accounts at a staggering £12 per yard!

Very taken with the image of King James and Princess Elizabeth playing cards together at Whitehall night after night over Christmas 1612 as they struggled with grief following Prince Henry’s death. Nevermind that Elizabeth lost some £19 to her dad. TNA, E407/57/2.

Something so entrancing about this portrait of a #Tudor fisherman, away from it all as he punts across Sturmer Mere, Essex, in 1571, surrounded by reeds, fish & swans - the #map was part of legal evidence in a dispute about fishing rights. More via blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/blog/maps-tell…
