In advance of International Women's Day on 8th March, check out Poet, Mystic, Widow, Wife by Hetta Howes, and learn about the extraordinary lives of medieval women!

Women rarely received recognition in the medieval era, but the four exceptional figures in Hetta Howes’s book defied expectations, excelling in public roles that challenged traditional ideas about femininity. buff.ly/BTdtUhk

It was extremely fun to answer the most googled questions on the legendary King Arthur for History Hit💥 recently. Not least because I got to wear my favourite sword earrings 😂 m.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv7UDG…

This looks fab - weasel testicles as a contraceptive also get a shout out in Poet, Mystic, Widow, Wife. They're a crowd pleaser 😂 theguardian.com/science/2025/m…

Lily of the Valley is one of the lillies of #Easter. Originally linked to Ostara, the ancient Germanic goddess of spring, the flower symbolises the arrival of new light & life. Fairies are said to drink from its cups & it also protects gardens from evil spirits. #FolkloreSunday

I was super excited to cover one of our best sources on viking cultural practice... which was written by an Arab traveller. I love how the medieval world is so much more interconnected than most people assume, and how it is full of inquisitive adventurous people. Check it out!
