Looking for recommendations of works on queens’ or royal womens’ households. Anything published since 2016 extra appreciated :) #twitterstorians #queenship

Someone is feeling justifiably smug 🤣

Study leave with my favourite #academicdog

Happily watching Persuasion and being reminded what an arse Wentworth is 🤣

Feeling rather grumpy about the cost of Brill books today. Great book I need to read, not in NLS can’t get it through inter library loan, won’t pay £148 for a copy 🙈

Watching James IV: Queen of the Fight and thinking Margaret Tudor is getting bad press again 😏

Just typing away, with no idea whether what I’m saying makes sense…. The proof will be in the proofing

Hello Scots historians. Can anyone tell me what “Brasei” is in Latin, Scot’s or the wierd mash up of the two the the ER has. I have 9 bolls of brasei and I KNOW I’ve previously looked this up and lost the notes🙈

Bloody Latin. Anyone come across the term “carcosiis” relating to sheep and cows eg 88 carcosiis multonibus. I thought it related to carcurra for plough but I don’t see any sheep ploughing medieval fields…. 🐑 🐄 🐂

Live scenes of me trying to write a to-the-point chapter section and getting lost in the intricacies of the Scottish Exchequer Rolls instead…translation of “per dietas in papers computantis” anyone? Paper accounts? Receipts?! 🤪

Hmm I feel pretty scammed by yourselves already thanks USS. How’s that deficient looking UCU #ucuRISING

Hello lovely #twitterstorians. Does anyone have a copy of M Beer “Translating a queen: material culture and the creation of Margaret Tudor as Q of Scots”. It’s in Netherton, Medieval Clothing and Textiles 2014

Watching “You” s4 and absolutely the most unrealistic thing in any season so far is Joe‘s mystery academic job that pays a decent London wage when he has no publications

Excited to watch the queen being crowned, entirely so I can say “eee that’s not how they did it in medieval Scotland”

I don’t suppose any kind soul on the Twitter sphere specialises in medieval French and fancies translating a chronicle entry for me do they? It’s about 6 (relatively small) pages long 😬

I wrote a thing!

I’m giving a talk on Mary of Guelders for Haddington History Society on the 19th October if anyone is at a loose end 👑 haddingtonshistory.org.uk/2023/04/progra…

Hello #scottishhistorians #twitterstorians can anyone point me to reading on the property rights of married and widowed women in medieval Scotland? Especially elite women?

Happy Edinburgh Fringe. Found out I share both the complete terror of lightening AND the determination to carefully listen to ALL of the instructions given by flight attendants in case I am cast adrift in the Atlantic with only my whistle for safety with Mark Watson, still here but very much also Bluesky
