@Mariginger @the_bsr @HyPIRUoL @historyleic @alhambraarchbi Thanks a lot, and sorry I’ve taken so long to get back to you. We’re only just finalising the book at the moment, so I’m afraid it won’t be out until next year but will be free online when it is!

@DrNaomiBaker Brilliant, and yes absolutely – good luck with the writing and I’m sure the book will be great for all of us on the Written Worlds project at Birkbeck!

@mrfw17thc @SocialHistoryOx The ‘country of your choice’ thing does fit with a couple of other 17th-c gentry wills I’ve seen, where a father wants a son to go abroad for education, but isn’t too particular about where.

@mrfw17thc @SocialHistoryOx Is it possible it might be travel to Spain as training for a career in trade? I’m starting to see quite a few 17th-century examples of that from places like Bristol. But perhaps the Inns of Court might suggest it’s not that!
