How likely is it in 1669 when an inventory lists in a store room there was ‘a case of pistols and headpiece’ that the headpeece is a helmet, given the late individual was an officer who fought for Parliament? I find it hard to believe it’s a wig

@alicehunt.bsky.social just to say congratulations on your book Republic. A brilliant and addictive read, under-pinned by much research.
I’m well into researching and writing a biography of Nathaniel Fiennes and your book has opening many new avenues for my research 👌

Have the walk through the avenue of trees all to myself. After spending the morning wrestling with the seventeenth century Parliamentary archives, it’s nice to be brought back to the present. 👍🏻

A busy weekend ahead at a National Conference in Nottingham
Delivering a lecture this weekend at a conference being held at my old alma mater (Nottingham university). Campus has changed considerably since my day. Speaking at the annual conference of British coin collectors about civil war siege pieces. Hope they realise I’m a historian, not a Numismatist.
