As the weekend kicks off, some of you may be considering a trip to a theme park or fair. Spare a thought for leisure seakers of the last century...
The entrance to a circus attraction from France, 1920. A kind of weird, creepy catterpillar ride. I'm intrigued but I wouldn't go in! 🐛

Stop offering AI solutions that will do the thinking and creating for me. Thinking and creating aren't the obstacles to my goal... they're the whole point of why I wanted to do it in the first place.

Excited to be teaching a new seminar on "Order and Anarchy in Twelfth-Century England" in January 2025.
I'll be posting some of the illuminations I'll be using in the class to Bluesky. This one's interesting (to me, at least). For more info, see the Alt text.

Women couldn't be outlawed in 13th-century England because they were never put in law. Instead, women accused of crimes were ordered to be waived if they failed to appear at trial. The consequence of waivery was the same as outlawry's: execution (often immediately and without trial). 🧵1/4

When legal cases begin like a joke:
Three men and a priest are having a drink in the house of Libert the merchant...
Wanna know how this case from the year 1235 ends? Libert got killed, the accused fled and the priest buried Libert before the coroner arrived to examined the body.
