The problem of hindsight is evident in a lot of #History writing.

We know how things played out in hindsight and many authors construct a narrative that includes events that line up with how people end up.
The danger is they miss out stuff that doesn't line up with the narrative.

Kathryn Warner explores this in her post.
She has written an excellent book on #EdwardII which challenges the popular narrative. She has appeared in various documentaries.

President Biden was pictured at the castle in #Carlingford - but this photo is Carlingford Friary, founded c.1305 by Richard de Burgh, Earl of Ulster. The Dominican friars played a part in an intriguing story, involving the earl's daughter-in-law the #LadyOfClare, a marriage planned by King #EdwardII to his, ahem, favourite, & an abduction... or did she elope?

In 1317, Edward II granted the friary of St Augustine a license to purchase land in Skirbeck in Lincolnshire and by 1328 there were twenty friars living there. By the time of the dissolution, the total area was calculated as covering about ten acres - half an acre of this was adjacent to St John’s churchyard.

Three centuries later, when the Poor Laws were enacted it became the responsibility of the local parish to provide for the poor and they were housed in workhouses. Boston was built on land that belonged to the friary. All that remains now is its frontage.

The building was designed by architect George Gilbert Scott (image two) and what remains today is used by Lincolnshire Social Services.
