#OnThisDay 1066 William the Conqueror set sail for England. It was only 48 hours after the Battle of Stamford Bridge, so he and his army embarked with no idea which opponent they would have to fight.

#OnThisDay 1087 the reign of William Rufus, son of William the Conqueror, began with his coronation in Westminster Abbey. (Because he didn't found a church, he is shown here holding the great hall he built at Westminster.)

With Bayeux Tapestry mania mounting, I thought it worth pointing out that my book about the Norman Conquest begins with a description of the famous embroidery and explains why it's uniquely important. You can read it for free here: shorturl.at/vjjay

I can now reveal that crypto billionaire Ben Delo—pardoned by Trump after a conviction for anti-money-laundering violations—privately funded the failed libel action brought against me by neo-Nazi conspiracy theorists Nina Power and Daniel Miller to the tune of at least £300,000.

It matters because it teaches scepticism. Not exclusive to university history, of course. But we teach it (or we should) from day one. Why believe this? For what purpose was it said / written? Instinctive questioning. In an age of fakes, frauds and liars I can't think of a more relevant discipline.

Minor gripe, but I need to ask the BBC to stop dicking about with the iPlayer Films page. Being able to browse by New was a handy feature to see what had recently been added, but they keep taking it away, and this is bad, actually.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Ben Delo isn't just a "billionaire expat" with a soft spot for Farage. In 2022 he was found guilty of serious criminal charges in the United States. American prosecutors said he deliberately built a dodgy crypto platform designed to help people hide dirty money. He admitted as much in court.

A serious democratic society simply cannot allow this. That's £72 million from just two men. (Both, until lately, based overseas). The average UK earner (full-time) would have to work for over 1,800 years to raise that much. It's a nuclear strike on any pretence at the equality of political power
