I signed some copies in Waterstones Oxford yesterday so do pop in if that tickles your fancy.

Today’s favourite archival item: a big suede pouch containing a tiny scrap of paper. It’s a note stating that no timber has been seized by customs officials. A great example of the “Bureaucracy Gone Mad” genre in history #lovearchives The National Archives

I was browsing Digital Bodleian this afternoon, and I found these lovely depictions of James I, Joan Beaufort, James IV, and Margaret Tudor in Bodleian Library MS. Wood C. 9! You can view the partially digitized manuscript here: digital.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/objects/6ee963…

Great to see a nice pile of books in Waterstones Piccadilly, though am very jealous that Peter Frankopan gets a name-based pun…..

Meet the extraordinary John Lambert: outstanding general, brilliant political theorist - author of Britain’s 1st written constitution - religious moderate, talented gardener & lover of tulips.🌷Probably the most important figure of his age who is near forgotten now (not by me ❤️)

The most cavalier of Roundheads. One of the most fascinating, and genuinely tragic figures in British history.

'Why is air made of atoms but light isn't?', my daughter asks me, on what is supposed to be my day off.

Here’s the full review. I loved it. Congratulations, Jonathan, hope the paperback soars.

Out in paperback tomorrow (I've seen some copies in the shops already). My judgement is 'merciless and often surprising', according to the Times. Best not tell my students about that...

As part of Levellers’ Day this year ⁦Jonathan Healey⁩ and I are doing this walking tour of Burford. Really looking forward to it…Burford is beautiful and steeped in the history of the English revolution…

Reading Kevin Sharpe’s ‘The Personal Rule of Charles I’.
