I taught my last class on the Tudors today! It was a blast and the added applause didn’t hurt. 😛

Harold Godwineson needs the votes of Edwin and Morcar in order to sway the Witan to vote for him while Edward the Confessor is on his deathbed. They don't like Tostig, but that's not a problem! FATAL RIVALRY Universal link: buff.ly/3qRnJ8T

On this day in 1066 the Battle of Hastings was fought (you know, the one King and Conqueror tried to act out).

Today’s Tudor class went really well! Everyone loved the biscuits and some people took some home. 😳

Next week I’ll be covering Ed VI and Jane Grey and a side lesson on Tudor entertainment. Will be showing the class how to play a Tudor card game! I’m really enjoying this! 😛

In my Tudor class I cover the kings, queens, and nobles but each week I also include a ‘daily life in Tudor England’ segment.

I’ve done hygiene and education and this week I’m doing food so thought it would be cool if I baked Tudor biscuits for everyone! 😛

Tostig and Stamfordbridge: By many accounts, the blame for Harold Godwineson’s failure to stop William’s invasion can be laid on his brother Tostig’s shoulders. It’s very unpopular to defend Tostig, but I keep wondering if he was a bit misunderstood. historicalbritainblog.com/tostig-and-s...
