First, Heather Falvey recounts the @richardiiisociety.bsky.social's research weekends, the inception of which owed much to Peter & Carolyn. In addition to teaching valuable research skills, these events led (among much else) to the publication of the invaluable Logge register of #medieval #wills 📜

Anne Curry's fascinating essay turns to 'the highest level of diplomatic exchange' in the middle ages: the rare face-to-face meetings of #kings. Focusing on Henry V and Charles VI, she sets out their tense political importance during the Hundred Years' War 👑 #Skystorians #MedievalSky #BookSky

Robert Swanson tackles the complex 'afterlife' of Alberbury Priory, #Shropshire, following its dissolution by Henry V in 1414, piecing together the often strained relationships between the parish, the crown, and All Souls' College, Oxford, from a mass of documentary evidence ⛪ #Medieval #Skystorians

Margaret Kekewich examines the endlessly fascinating @britishlibrary.bsky.social Harley MS 7353 (an illustrated roll depicting the Yorkist cause), concluding that its pairing of biblical and contemporary scenes was based on a format popularised by the Biblia Pauperum 👑 #MedievalSky #Skystorians
