Just researching Sir Edward Herbert for my WiP and came across this miniature by Isaac Oliver, which is exactly the kind of selfie I would love my boyfriend to give me. Apparently, he's chilling in the woods after a joust. #EarlyModern #17thC #KeepitStuart #ComeHither

Mary was a legend. I strongly reccomend Pamela's book (@tannerritchie.bsky.social) and also reading Mary's letters. Great stuff, thanks for posting.

📅#OTD 1643. Sir William Waller writes to Sir Ralph Hopton.
Peacetime friends find themselves wartime enemies ...
'hostility itself cannot violate my friendship to your person' in this 'war without an enemy'.

Very pleased to see this article on Jacobean diplomacy and the Peace of Stolbova (1617) out in print.

John Merrick you think? Partly 😉

Thanks to the editors and @Brepols for getting this across the line in time for Christmas

Initials carved 1714 & 1718 in Bishop Cosin's chapel at Auckland Palace.
In 1604, the 3-year-old Prince Charles stayed here on his epic journey from Dunfermline to Windsor, where he rejoined his family.

#CharlesII age 1

Venetian ambassador Vincenzo Gussoni arrives, and Charles needs to be taught how to receive visitors.

Seats of differing heights help demonstrate hierarchy, but the prince has so much to learn.

#OTD 23 Nov 1589

Anne of Denmark 14 & James VI of Scotland 23 (later James I of England) married in Oslo having married by proxy in August

Bad weather prevented Anne from reaching Scotland so James travelled to her

Not to be the happiest of marriages but nonetheless very successful

If so, I'll throw in a free kindle version of
'The King's Spy' - book 1 in my civil war fiction series.
