The Normans have set sail for England, quick everyone to St Wite shrine in Dorset, we must pray they fail to land.

I have far too many video ideas and I'm frustrated I can't work on all of them at once. I tend to work myself up about a video idea, that I run the habit of working on it while leaving my current work on the cutting room floor.

Is this coffee discourse something I'm far too British to understand? It seems rather over the top and American.

There's more than one history youtuber who works out, but my project on myself is building up for my Halloween costume. @thehistocrat.bsky.social game on.

Imagine telling King Henry 5th there's a channel tunnel that connects England and France, he'd lose his fucking mind.

I want to rant about the Bayeux Tapestry.

I took a pretty good photo of Wells cathedral from the Bishop palace garden the other day.

I really don't like the way YouTube now does view counts, I can't tell how a video is doing truly until it updates the engaged views parts, which you have to dig into the analytics.

"Thereupon the king led his army towards London by forced marches; and, although he was very sensible that some of the bravest men in England had fallen in the two [recent] battles, and’ that one half of his troops was not yet assembled". The Chronicle of John of Worcester - 456 to 1140 A.D.

King Harold’s heroic march: is it a myth? The evidence suggests that in fact he did the journey by sea @sussexbylines.co.uk

I've been doing the Cindy crossfit workout more so lately, 5 pull ups, 10 pushup and 15 squats as many times as you can in 20 minutes. My record is 12, the pull ups are what catch me out.

I had the privilege of giving a talk about the battle of Worcester 1651 at the commandery museum, where king Charles 2nd set up his headquarters. I designed some maps for the event as well. #historysky

Obviously it was super positive, the Harrying of the North? Just a misunderstanding, making an episode of Grand designs by changing nearly all the churches and abbeys in England to the Norman style, priceless, and of course building loads of castles for the tourism industry. #bayeuxtapestry

As the Bayeux Tapestry opens to the public at the British Museum, what impact do Britons think the Norman Conquest had on British history? Positive: 25% Neither: 25% Negative: 6% Don't know: 44% yougov.com/en-gb/daily-...

The speed's map of Worcester is the most famous illustration of the battle, which shows Worcester in 1651 and is great, it is missing the red hill and perry woods section where Cromwell placed part of his army on the eastern flank of the city, so I drew my own which included them. #historysky

I bought an MRE kit for a video I'm making, I'm excited to film this one.

This is one of my favourite images from the middle ages. Monk sneaking a drink, from Li livres dou santé. Makes me think of when people say, having a cheeky Nando's.

Everyone knows you've got to have good thighs to conquer England.

William the Conqueror died on this day in 1087. To mark the occasion, here is a rather left-field Brittany Ferries advert for the city of Caen showing the abbey of Saint-Étienne where William was buried. #MedievalSky

I think September is probably the best month to work in a museum, you meet quite a lot of interesting and international people.

Did my first history talk today about the battle of Worcester, even managed to squeeze in a few jokes which went down well.

So what are we doing for England's 1100th birthday next year?

Thanks for bearing with me blueskying about the battle of Worcester, this is my last post on the subject, but if you'd like to learn more and see more of the battlefield, I made a video about the battle. youtu.be/IHCaP-kgApo #historysky #battleofworcester #history #onthisday

The battle that ended the English Civil War, Worcester.

The final stage of the battle of Worcester, the fall, by this time, the royalists had been routed, after being counterattacked by Cromwell and Fort royal had been captured and it's cannons turned onto the city, somehow King Charles managed to escape the burning city and his great escape begins...

The middle of the battle of Worcester, 1651, where Cromwell moves some of his troops towards the south of the city from Red hill and Perrywoods, Charles from Worcester cathedral sees this and moves his troops to attack the now weakened positions, marching out the Sidbury gate, a die is cast moment.

Another map I drew depicting the opening stage of the battle of Worcester 1651, this shows the village of Powick, south of the city, Royalists in blue and Roundheads in red. Cromwell attacked from two sides as he had an advantage in numbers, over double Charles numbers, roughly 30k vs 15k. #battle

One famous aspect from the battle of Worcester, 1651, is the fight on Fort Royal hill, which prior to the battle was turned into a makeshift star fort to protect Worcester from the east, most of Charles cannons were placed on the hill, this mural shows the capture of the hill. #historysky #battle

Worcester itself has very little in the way of physical evidence of the battle despite the widespread damage to the city as the Victorians built on most of the battlefield, however at the small village of Powick just south of the city is St Peter's church, there's musket marks on the church wall.

The speed's map of Worcester is the most famous illustration of the battle, which shows Worcester in 1651 and is great, it is missing the red hill and perry woods section where Cromwell placed part of his army on the eastern flank of the city, so I drew my own which included them. #historysky
