This coming Tuesday, December 2nd, the 2025 Wolfson History Prize winner will be revealed. My vote would go to @hrcastor ‘s The Eagle and the Hart. Any home library is better for having a shelf of Castor.

@LeandadeLisle @BloomsburyBooks Such an awful story. She was 70, deaf and disabled and accused of allowing the rebels to sleep in her stables. Jefferies rejected the jury’s not guilty verdict 3 times before forcing a conviction. He famously said ‘had she been in my own mother I would have found her guilty’.

@AnnaLandmark @BloomsburyBooks Just been posting to ask if this old pub sign of a Monmouth rebel ( beheaded) is too horrid for the common parts of a holiday let.. I think it may be

13 March 1901. Scottish-born steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie announced that he was retiring from business and would spend the rest of his days giving away his huge fortune. His philanthropy had special emphasis on libraries, education, science and world peace.

@robsmedley Thanks for your kind words Robert. There are several biogs of Monck but none are good on Anne. There is next to nothing written on her (not even a DNB entry) which is astonishing. The source material isn’t great but I am sure a good biographer could make something of it.

@AnnaLandmark Hello Anna, I have just finished your superb Restless Republic. Is there any further reading on Anne Monck specifically? Was there enough source material for any biography that might have been written? Thank you very much.
