WHSG History

CORRECTION: the dancing doublet with silver-gilt ‘pommes d’oringe, welkes, cokles et muscles’ turns out to have belonged to 19-year-old Roger, Earl of March. Dammit. Maybe it should’ve been a clue that dancing in a spangly outfit always sounded too much fun to be Richard…

Looking forward to giving Y13 a tour of the Tower tomorrow 🏰

Talk about shade. Here is twenty-three-year-old Richard II putting his seal to a letter about his first cousin Henry of Bolingbroke, someone he’s known his whole life, and GETTING HIS NAME WRONG

Henry VI having a gold and ruby ring given to him by his great-uncle Cardinal Beaufort on the day of his French coronation in 1431 remodelled for his new wife Margaret of Anjou in 1445 is sweet. He was a decent lad, that one 💍
