My chat with the fabulous @sixteenthcgirl.bsky.social has just been released on Not Just the Tudors - it was so much fun to talk about all things William III, satire and scandal! open.spotify.com/episode/1lpj...
It was brilliant to chat with you again Natalie! For those interested in the history of sexuality take a listen to the latest episode of Talking Tudors!
Happy Friday! It was illuminating to speak with @jackbeesley.bsky.social about how medieval and early modern people perceived male same-sex relationships, the development of sodomy laws, and their implications on society. We also discuss the rumours surrounding George Boleyn’s sexuality. Tune in!

My first peer reviewed article is out now with @royalstudies.bsky.social! Based on my 2019 undergraduate dissertation, the article explores Anne Boleyn’s legacy in Elizabethan England. Congratulations to the Royal Studies Journal on its 10th anniversary issue! 🥳

Took me forever to find this 1985 Theo Van Den Boogaard image I remembered seeing in a queer comics doc a few years back and which randomly popped into my head today.
It’s so fabulous. May need to print & frame it.

Another gay insult from the 17th/18th century to add to my vastly growing collection - “sodomitish impe” - I’ve been called worse 😂

I love looking through manuscripts where the scribe clearly had a lot of fun writing it! 😍
