@TealeFredrica OK. Annoyingly, my scanner is refusing to co-operate this morning, but I have taken a set of photos. Legible, at any rate. How best to send them to you?

@rjcassidy Recalling Anglo-Scottish Relations in 1291. Thank you so much!

Does anyone have access to Thirteenth Century England XVI they could possibly share with me?

@MedievalFemina Thank you Louise, Adrian, and the Lincoln volunteers, for your hard work in organising the conference, and making sure that it all happened on time and in good order. Well done, and I hope you’re having a well-deserved rest.

After 26 talks by 27 speakers from across the UK and Australia, and a wonderful trip to our Guildhall to view our 13thC Royal Charters, the 21st Thirteenth Century Conference is a wrap. A massive thanks to all who came and safe travels home.

@ladygreenkirtle @DrFrancisYoung ‘Oh god’ versus ‘O God.’

@DrFrancisYoung I thought "oh!" was an exclamation of surprise, and "o" was a formal and dramatic way to address someone. The difference between "oh! It's raining!" and "O great and mighty ruler".

It occurs to me that the ‘o’ spelling of the English word ‘oh’ is today found almost exclusively in translations of Classical poetry, where for some reason it is still acceptable

@HArchivesTrust @pablodiablo74 @UkNatArchives Complete with a plug for the Pipe Roll Soc (and its latest and largest, if not greatest, publication).

🚨New #Podcast 🚨 Ending the year on a high note with the release of our latest episode with @pablodiablo74 🙌🏻 In this episode, Paul tells us about @UkNatArchives’s #Medieval records and how these are used for #LocalHistory research hampshirearchivestrust.co.uk/stories/podcas…

@StephanieLahey Candied peel, I think. The peel of oranges and lemons, preserved in sugar. Now usually bought already cut up into little bits for adding to cakes etc, but I remember my mother using large pieces like those, the peel of half an orange, which she would cut up herself.

What the heck are they? I’ve been staring at them for five minutes.

I recognize everything here except the large, mouldy looking, brown … things between the citrus and the holly.

@paula_delval @monarchyconf @woodjamie99 @MedievalFemina @ALiuzzoScorpo Congratulations, Doctor.

I am thrilled to share that I have passed my PhD viva with no corrections! Thank you to my examiners @monarchyconf & @woodjamie99 for an amazing experience and enriching discussion, and to my supervisors @MedievalFemina & @ALiuzzoScorpo for their unwavering support #PhDone 🎉

@jmarshallmed @TCDHistHum @HistoryTcd @ihr_history @RoyalHistSoc Congratulations!

Delighted to say that I defended my PhD thesis today. Thanks to my examiners, Daniel Power and Peter Crooks, for their engagement and encouragement, and my supervisor Seán Duffy for all of his help! Excited for the next chapter. @TCDHistHum @HistoryTcd @ihr_history @RoyalHistSoc

@MJSteilen @tjmcsweeney1 @RG1253 @LizPappKamali Indeed - noted and appreciated.

@MJSteilen @tjmcsweeney1 @RG1253 @LizPappKamali Lots to think about. And I liked the idea of John as the anti-Marshal.

@jmarshallmed Interesting stuff, which made me think again about a familiar tale. A good listen for a rainy afternoon.

Really enjoyed talking to Matt about William Marshal the elder (d. 1219), available on Gone Medieval podcast now

@medievaljews I have calendared or at least made spreadsheets of several of the receipt rolls from the 1250s and 1260s. Give me a shout if that might save you some effort.

It’s all fun and games until somebody orders up the main receipt rolls… As it turns out, there’s rather a lot of material of relevance to the Jews above+beyond that in the Jewish receipt rolls. The downside of this is that I’m going to have to go through the 13th cent rolls…

Relaxing, having finished checking 800 pages of proofs for the long-awaited edition of the 1259 pipe roll. Pipe roll fans will have to contain their impatience until December. boydellandbrewer.com/9780901134929/…

A new episode of The Medieval Podcast with @5minmedievalist - Divining the Future with Jo Edge medievalists.net/2024/07/divini… #podcast #onomancy

For anyone interested in pipe roll research and publication who was unable to attend in person, the slides and text are now on Academia: academia.edu/121522530/Pipe…

Thanks to the Pipe Roll Society for inviting me to deliver their annual lecture at The National Archives yesterday, and particularly to @pablodiablo74 for setting up the display of documents.

About this time next week, if you happen to be at The National Archives, you could drop in to the Pipe Roll Society annual lecture, about pipe rolls, oddly enough: eventbrite.co.uk/e/pipe-rolls-p…

@medievaljews It also provides a new unit of measurement. The Times reported that some of the stones were ‘as heavy as a panda’. thetimes.com/uk/history/art…

In these turbulent times, it’s a relief to know that the Second Baronial Revolt continues to provide stability in the headlines…
