I went hunting for #Aethelflaed yesterday. This is the only part of #Chester Walls that I think may include some of her refortification, near to the Northgate.

I find myself trying to work out how a non-academic can get access to a conference paper from a conference in 1992 on another continent....

I believe #WilliamMarshall is finished! Here is a very oblique view to celebrate.
Now I move on to planning the #ConversionOfPlacidus, #JasonAndMedea, #Aethelflaed, #Rahere, and #DameJulian

Oh, and I absolutely must find somewhere to exhibit the #DreamsOfAmarna!

I find myself in search of images of the obverse of coins struck in Mercia in the time of #Aethelflaed, and my searches online are not successful. Are there any numismatists who can point me at a suitable reference? #histodons #coins #numismatics

I'm reading up on #Aethelflaed, and the author keeps referring to her shaping of the Midlands. Brought up in Chester, I've always thought of myself as a northern lass, and I keep being knocked off my balance.
Mind you, my Geordie mother agrees with the author!
