Looking forward to watching this! We don’t have winter Christmas here in Australia but I have experienced the challenges of medieval reenactment in the cold, wet and muddy months. My tip - it’s definitely easier to keep your spirits high if your dress hems and feet are dry!
'Tis the season... to go medieval! 🍻 For a brand new documentary on History Hit, @MattLewisAuthor and @GoingMedieval got hands-on to explore how people in medieval England kept their spirits high through the long, dark months ❄️ Watch 'Medieval Winter' on History Hit now ✨

Even after all this time this interview discussion still sends shivers down my spine. This research will be remembered as the incredible historical game changer that it really is. Can’t wait to hear more from the Missing Princes Project in 2025. #princesinthetower

The best book of 2024 (in my humble opinion) … The King’s Mother by @anniegarthwaite There’s still time to get a copy for Christmas, as a present for someone else, or to treat yourself! 📚

Gone Medieval delivers a fascinating episode! Once again, I am reminded of how much of what I was taught in school about the Middle Ages was wrong. This episode reveals how stimulating and unexpectedly positive the lives of medieval nuns could be.
In today's episode of Gone Medieval, @MattLewisAuthor talks to German historian @HLaehnemann about her rich research into medieval nuns' vibrant lives, from their involvement in local politics and commerce to their spiritual duties and family bonds:

Why do I think Sir Thomas More shouldn’t be given credence as a source for the events of Richard III’s reign? Because he doesn’t say what I want to hear. Yeah, I can admit that. But there’s also a lot of reasons to treat him with care.

Fascinating talk on this week’s Gone Medieval by Aussie medieval history professor Mark Gregory Pegg about the Albigensian Crusade. I learned a lot. Definitely worth a listen!
In the early 1200s, the Albigensian Crusade saw the church desperately attempting to purge heretics across Christendom. Today @MattLewisAuthor unravels the myths and chaos surrounding medieval heresy with historian Mark Gregory Pegg:

I’m ignoring all the recent negativity on this topic and instead am reposting this. I can’t wait to see what this will reveal.
