Highly appropriately for #StDavid's day (and entirely coincidentally), the great Ralph Griffiths charts the fortunes of the Kydwelly family from #Carmarthenshire throughout the Wars of the Roses as they moved to England for careers in royal service 🛡️ #MedievalSky #medieval #Skystorians #BookSky

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

Lynda Pidgeon looks at the history of Barley Hall, #York, recounting both its salvage and renovation and the history of its #medieval occupants. Peter and Carolyn were for many years trustees of the Hall, so this essay has special resonance in their festschrift 🏛️ #Skystorians #MedievalSky #BookSky

Compton Reeves assesses Edward IV's so-called 'enemies list', issued at the beginning of his reign and which named Henry VI as 'the Adversary'. Reeves considers the biographies of the men listed alongside Henry, and the rationale behind the list ⚔️ #medieval #MedievalSky #Skystorians #BookSky

While you're there, could you please take a peek at Add. MSS, 37,662, p. 228 and tell me the name of 'Lady Gage'?
