The very first time Jane Seymour appears with certainty in a contemporary source is in Jan 1534, less than 4 yrs before her death. This is not at all unusual for a 16thC woman. Read more in Jane Seymour: Patronage, Material Culture and Image Crafting, out now. #janeseymour #queenjaneseymour #tudor

In 2023 Ofsted rated Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy Outstanding in all areas. This week it suddenly discovers the "inflexible" behaviour policies, which it has encouraged and praised for years, harm children - as many of us have repeatedly pointed out. This dreadful organisation needs to go. NOW.

Nice to see that Pola Negri was determined to get into character as Catherine the Great in the 1924 silent film Forbidden Paradise. In a plot centred on revolutions, rebellions & romance she turned to Women Who ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy for source material #womenwhoruledtheworld

Having burned her 3 closest towns Boudicca realised -too late - that she hadn’t picked up Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy from the bookshop. Luckily, she could download the audiobook which she listened to while driving her chariot into the Roman lines. #womenwhoruledtheworld
