@gillired1 Love that!

@egan_cl Food? Maybe in conjunction with the water? Kind of an early Domino’s logo 😊

Anyone recognise this symbol? Or guesses what it might mean 'to leade doges to...' ? Part of a libel from a 1616 Star Chamber case.

@Rummage_work @_drsang Isn't it?! Thanks for the suggestions, I hadn't thought of either. I'm now also wondering about dice...

@egan_cl @_drsang Symbolic: is it some kind of quincunx — alchemical? Or practical, it looks a little like the drain in a dog kennel through which urine collected under the kennel to be sold on to industries … neither seem right though. Maddening.

@_drsang Haha brilliant! I'm imagining it as a pool of sick now 😅

@_drsang After that the letter signs off. The only other clues in the bill are that they complain this libel target has dug up churchyard stones to build a dog kennel and has let his dogs run over linen hung up to dry in the churchyard!

@_drsang It says: 'To conclude w(i)thall I lett that worthie gai(m)e aloane whoe in very deede cannot be condemned for his magnanimitie in servinge upon the Sea w(i)th a Corronett of Mares whoe is worthie of greater advancement that is to leade doges to [??] atterum atq(ue) it dei'

@NicholasvonMal1 @victoriamoul No, not implausible!

@egan_cl @victoriamoul Leade doges to cheese, not implausible?

@EarlyModBlood Agreed 😅 glad it's not just me that saw a cookie!

Any ideas out there? Looks like a cookie to me... ;p

@KateSo_ @onslies Must admit I saw a cookie first too 😅!

@earlymodatLancs Ohhh how perfect!

@earlymodatLancs The best news ❤️ congratulations!

@earlymodatLancs @nuding Oo not yet but it's definitely on my summer list 😌

@earlymodatLancs Oo I hadn't - it does look amazing! Thanks 😊

Thrilled to share my latest article (open access): 'The Dark Trophies of The Battle of Evesham, the Northumbrian Cult of Simon de Montfort and the War of the Welsh Marches (1264–1265)'. Thanks to many colleagues whose conversations spurred this research! academic.oup.com/ehr/article/do…
