@17thCenturyLady How about Lady Ann Fanshawe’s recipe for ‘icy cream’? 🍦😋 philippagregory.com/news/lady-fans…

Hear ye! 'Tis time for Stuart Saturday! It's rather toasty this long weekend in the UK, which is very welcome for a change, and it reminds me of John Evelyn in Italy when he wrote in June 1645: 'I think I was never sensible of so burning a heat as I was this season'. Our theme is: ☀️🌞Feeling hot-hot-hot in the Stuart period (take that as you will) 🌞☀️ Image: Gregorio de Ferrari's 'Spring: Venus Driving away Mars', 1687-88. Fresco in the Palazzo Rosso, Genoa.

Really important topic. Like I said on CavalierCast with @1642Author, it's a shame children in history are generally overlooked so much.

What was it like to be a child during the English Civil Wars? Join acclaimed historian, Dr Ismini Pells, for a fascinating Battle of Worcester Society talk exploring the untold experiences of children shaped by conflict, loss and survival in the 17th century. ⬇️

@IsminiPells @Waseem_Ahmed98 @_paullay @wartsandbrawls @jdmccafferty @sarahgristwood @SarahDixwell aha! My book on Tudor and Stuart women is to be republished by a company that specialises mainly in books on organic farming and gardening apparently.

Anyone else being bombarded by AI emails from 'people' wanting to reposition & refresh your publications? At a fee obvs. Messages are so generic as to be laughable, an obvious scam @_paullay @IsminiPells @Waseem_Ahmed98 @wartsandbrawls @jdmccafferty @sarahgristwood @SarahDixwell

Really enjoyed participating in Stuart Saturday Live last weekend. @17thCenturyLady was a lovely host!

@jeales1 @Waseem_Ahmed98 @_paullay @wartsandbrawls @jdmccafferty @sarahgristwood @SarahDixwell I have had a few of those but not recently. My favourite is when they say things like my article on children in the Civil War will be a great fit for the British Journal of Orthopaedic Medicine…

@Waseem_Ahmed98 @_paullay @IsminiPells @wartsandbrawls @jdmccafferty @sarahgristwood @SarahDixwell Romily Ashbourne thinks she can relaunch a 30 year old book, Yardena Carmi wants to republish it, although its still in print, John Rooney leads a reading group that wants a sub to read another of my books. Nice to know they are so enthusiastic.

Very excited to be participating in Stuart Saturday Live tomorrow!

@MinooFramroze You’re welcome! Yes, Paul’s book is great too. I thought of Carla as she has looked at the Caribbean and other American colonies more generally in her books, beyond the Western Design, albeit that is the subject of the podcast!

@IsminiPells Thank you! For the Western Design I have relied hitherto on the great Paul Lay

What’s the best popular history of the English Civil War in the Caribbean, buckles being thoroughly swashed? My only knowledge comes from misc coverage of P Rupert’s piratical venture and the really excellent ‘Willoughbyland’ (author’s name escapes me for moment sorry)

Next month sees the start of our Spring online lecture series, with a programme of top historians talking on aspects of the mind-1600s. Talks are held on Zoom and recorded for any ticket holders who can't watch live - more details at: cromwellmuseum.org/events/cromwel…

This weekend @world_turned supported @ChCh_Oxford event 'Britain Turned Upside Down: Civil War and Republic, 1640-1660'. This residential event was attended by 10 speakers and 120 delegates with @WilliamJHague contributing an address. worldturnedupsidedown.co.uk/twtud-supporte…

NEW PODCAST Understanding the conquest and occupation of Scotland Much has been discussed about the effects of the execution of Charles I on the future of England. But its impact on Scotland often received less attention. We talked to Laura Stewart. worldturnedupsidedown.co.uk/podcast/unders…
