A dear friend gave me Queen James, and it totally ignited my present WiP (a novel starring Gorgeous George Villiers). I am off to watch this with great anticipation and joy! #EarlyModern www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Queen James review – a fabulous documentary about the male lovers of Britain’s first king

Historian Gareth Russell has a gift. He’s entertaining and endlessly amusing in this confident TV transfer of his book about James I’s intimate companions

Along with writing my books comes the joy of promoting them. And although it sometimes feels weird to talk about myself, when Kindle picks my books for a deal (TYVM), I should tell people. So, welcome to my world, and spend the summer with me in the Tower of London! #HistFic geni.us/AmazonElizab...

So pleased to be starting this new project on royalist exiles in Paris attached to Queen Henrietta Maria's court, 1644-60. Thank you @britishacademy.bsky.social for funding this research! @openuniversity.bsky.social

It's easy to blame Charles for causing another civil war by allying with Scottish Engagers in 1647. But the king had the Scots, Parliament, & Army approaching him, each as entrenched, each wanting to use him at the expense of the others. All of them caused the renewed hostilities.

Did Charles I really have a choice after the First Civil War and was it just a case of all options were bad options doomed to cause friction and failure? @1642author.bsky.social and I discuss on today’s episode… Available now

This week - a fab coffee and croissant with @1642author.bsky.social all about Charles I who he has previously written about We discuss how perhaps Charles can be unfairly judged in the situation he was in when he came to the throne and into the Civil War Out Weds

Thank you so much for sharing! I really enjoyed recording this episode with the WTUD team. 😀

The early Quakers were remarkable for their prolific use of print to spread their message. On the new tWTUD, @ericanela.bsky.social discusses the important role print played in establishing Quakerism during the 1650s & after the Restoration www.worldturnedupsidedown.co.uk/podcast/the-...

And a bit more news coverage of the field school work: www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/nov... This research helps us to tell the stories of all the people buried at the site, not just those folks with still-visible stones and to understand how the Old Burying Ground developed over time.

Really enjoyed chatting to Mark about the life and death of Charles I, including the man behind the monarch. All too often Charles is left a two-dimensional tyrant and his motivations and beliefs can be skewed.

I’ve been chatting with @1642author.bsky.social about Charles I today for an ep in a few weeks time Last year we previously did an ep on Prince Rupert of the Rhine, which dispels some of the popular interpretations of the man and even talks about his life as a pirate! Most enjoyable!

⚜️CIVIL WAR TALK⚜️ On Tuesday 2 June I'll be giving a talk at Leicester Guildhall about these famous Royalist leaders. But there's more to the two men than their civil war allegiance. The parallels in their lives and careers are many and Rupert never forgot Montrose's service. 🎟️: tinyurl.com/yc473na3
