Sitting in a pub looking to complete my new talk on the Propaganda of Henry VII. I'll look at the illusory truth effect, how the more someone is exposed to a message, the more they believe it to be true. And Henry had a message he wanted spread.

Got our copy yesterday, and we’ve put our little signed sticker in! Very excited to read it, but in the middle of reading Charlotte Cooper-Davis’ Christine De Pizan, so it will have to wait a few days!😊

Think this is going on my Xmas list!
This Christmas, learn the tragic story of the THIRD Yorkist Prince in the Tower, Edward, Earl of Warwick. It's an unhappy tale for a boy doomed by the cruel ambitions of the men around him. Discover more in 'Henry VII and the Tudor Pretenders', available in paperback now.

Just finished ‘Son of Prophecy’ by @nathenamin.bsky.social after enjoying his talk at Gloucester History Festival last year. Great read, largely due to his obvious love of the subject. Learnt lots of new facts from differing perspectives, but now have extensive list of further reading!
