@avirr I'd love to see these in person! The page from the Bible of St Louis is one of eight (the final quire) in the Morgan Library in NY; the rest is in Toledo cathedral... I just found a description with some of the Toledo pages here: https://docs.moleiro.com/en_Bible_Saint_Louis_III_11.pdf

@TiciaVerveer Great to hear about the planned new Shipwreck Gallery for Poole Museum. 🤿

@sapiens I didn't know there's a patron saint for natural scientists! & just discovered this link to a very promising book review: https://masto.ai/@markrstoll/110709849436267837

@medievalists That's a wonderful floor tile! Fragments found at Chertsey Abbey in the 1850s, reassembled in the 1970s at the British Museum: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_1885-1113-9051-9060

@medieval_illuminations #TIL: the central arms (azure, a lion rampant argent) are those of Monhaut, a #Flintshire family:

The arms of Clare are unmistakeable, & Baxter (1987) suggested other heraldic allusions to Berkeley & Bohun:

This bestiary's dated to the 1240s, a time of turmoil. Marcher lords may have enjoyed dreaming of military surprise...

@medievalists Interesting article, & use of DNA analysis! Chess pieces made of horse, cow & deer bones - and "fashioned by groups (of pawns, of rooks, of bishops and knights and of queens and kings), which testifies to planned, routine activity, probably in a specialized workshop."

#13thCentury #realpolitik article!

including this splendid image of #KingJohn holding a model of #Beaulieu abbey.

Legend says that he founded it after a quarrel with the #Cistercian order & subsequent nightmare of being beaten by monks. Gratitude & prayers ensued!

Interesting research on textile dyes in medieval Estonia:
https://news.err.ee/1609119521/early-medieval-estonia-s-favorite-color-was-blackish-blue
& the use of local plants / lichen mixed with the woad, which was not the local variety but traded & widely cultivated across Europe from the #13thCentury. 🧵 1/3

@dailymedievaldeath I see the same royal arms & crown are then shown right way up for the accession of Stephen's successor #HenryII. Thanks for highlighting this use of inverted arms.
f117r of this #manuscript records the deaths of Gilbert de Clare & William Marshal - & with clasped hands, the remarriage of Isabel, the daughter of William & widow of Gilbert: https://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/Viewer.aspx?ref=royal_ms_14_c_vii_f117r (description at https://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/FullDisplay.aspx?ref=Royal_MS_14_c_vii)

@ANDictionary Such an interesting excerpt, & image, thank you! It took me a while to find the manuscript on the Gallica site, so here's the whole page & context for anyone else interested: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10022504n/f193.item.r=Fran%C3%A7ais%202173 - bonus image!

Today is the Feast of the #Annunciation.

This 1270s illustration was inserted into a #14thCentury #psalter now owned by #StJohnsCollege at #CambridgeUniversity - where red is the college colour; hence the name of the #blazer. Note the magnificent red & gold wings of the #ArchangelGabriel in this wonderful depiction!

Reminded by University Challenge’s question about the Great Cause and who would get the Scottish crown in the 13th century. My class studied this early in secondary school in Hawick, drawing up family trees. But none quite as huge as this one I just found! #ScottishHistory #Scotland #Medieval #Royal #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #13thCentury #ThirteenthCentury #SchoolHistory #History #School #Teaching #Education #SecondarySchool #UniversityChallenge #FamilyTrees

A splendid #manuscript has been digitised & highlighted by the #BritishLibrary. It's a grant by #AlfonsoX & his queen #Violante, "reigning as one" (regnante en uno), in the year in which Lord Edward son of #HenryIII of England was knighted in #Burgos - 1254, when the future #EdwardI came to marry #EleanorOfCastile. The attached seal of Castile & León is not wax but lead.

The #medieval seal of #Shoreham in Sussex refers to the town as Hulkesmouth, after the #ship type depicted, a hulc.

Wonderful discussion of the many images & archaeological hopes from the #NewportShip project:

I haven't seen details of the #clinker #hull of the #13thCentury #MortarWreck in #Dorset; #MedievalMastodon is it a hulc?
