Dear #twitterstorians, I’m looking for reading suggestions that discuss private household armouries in early modern England. Any historians of the household, nobility, or military be able to help? Any suggestions would be extremely welcome! Diolch ☺️

Very excited to have the opportunity to present my paper on Henrician women and military preparedness Weapons In Society IV Conference. Cannot wait to hear from my fellow speakers & find out more about the Royal Armouries fabulous collections too! #phdlife #historyofwar #TheTudors

Over the next week or so, we'll be tweeting out objects related to papers in our upcoming conference. Like this basket-hilted sword, of the sort that might have been carried by the Elizabethan Company of Masters of Defence covered by Institute for Medieval Studies Dr Jacob H. Deacon

Manchester Metropolitan Uni Samantha Nelson's forthcoming paper will explore the role of Tudor women in furnishing soldiers with arms and armour - perhaps like this mid-16th century pauldron and vambrace from a demilance armour (III.1710), once part of the Earl of Pembroke's arsenal.

The final speaker in this session is Samantha Nelson of HistoryManMet, discussing the military obligations of widows and noblewomen in Henrician England.

A big diolch to those who provided some fantastic questions and feedback!

So pleased I got to hear Sandra Suárez García fantastic paper on Spanish women in C16th Spanish army camps. Very interesting and important research that I will be keen to follow throughout my PhD.

OTD 1600 George Carew captured Glin castle. After battering a breach, Carew's men stormed in, leading to vicious close-quarter fighting in the narrow hallways. Denied mercy, the small garrison fought to the last on the wall tops and gutters on the roof of the keep #nineyearswar
