Doesn't look good for their still unknown owners

I guess it's not out of the norm for him. Surprised that the JC's editors or subeditors didn't spot it though

Ah that must be it. Impressive to get London and Granada mixed up.

@medievaljews.bsky.social, maybe one for a blog post on mJSNow?

I assume he used ChatGPT, too, for this. I don't know how it got 1066, though. It's not even close to the other dates of attacks on Jews in medieval London (1190, 1264, 1267).

The only other depictions on tombs in England I know of from close to that period are 1474 (left) and 1511-1518 (right). The coffin of Prior Weston also had a cross pattee.

Oh that's interesting. I didn't realise they were using the cross fleury for the Hospitallers.

Yes please! I didn't know the tomb survived

Very cool. The family of the last Hospitaller prior of England under Mary I too.

You're welcome!
