The 8th Mediaeval Mythbusting Blog was a look at why burn marks in historic buildings are probably not accidents with candles. Instead, there is a lot of evidence for these having been created deliberately to help spiritually protect buildings:

I watched the first episode of season 2 of Wolf Hall.
I am in love with the costumes, fabrics, jewellery, tapestries, furniture, ink stands, rugs, hats, candle sticks and all the rest of the fabulous production design. It is a medieval feast for tired modern eyes. ❤️

On this day in 2015, King Richard III was laid to rest with honour and dignity at Leicester Cathedral. A king reclaimed by time, restored to history, and forever remembered.

On 4 March, 2025 an oak tree was planted at Bosworth in memory of Richard III. The acorn came from a 600 year old tree at Fotheringhay where Richard was born. Sally Henshaw of the Leicestershire branch was invited to speak.

Today we remember Elizabeth MacKintosh, aka Josephine Tey, who died on this day in 1952. I am not the only one for whom her 1951 novel 'The Daughter of Time' was the starting point of an interest in Richard III and his time.

A nice walk on the last day of the year. My dog Gwen appreciated cooling her paws in the water as it was a warm morning.

Gone Medieval delivers a fascinating episode! It explores the lives of medieval nuns, and once again I am reminded of how much of what I was taught in school about the Middle Ages was wrong. This episode reveals how stimulating and unexpectedly positive the lives of medieval nuns could be.
Today on Gone Medieval, we take a wander around the world of nuns. I spoke to historian @hlaehnemann.bsky.social about her rich research into medieval nuns’ vibrant lives, from their involvement in local politics and commerce to their spiritual duties and family bonds.
