  6. On 28th July 1285, Edward I made his wife Eleanor of Castile the Sheriff of Somerset and Dorset. She was the first female sheriff of Somerset and there wouldn't be a second one for over 700 years.

    Eleanor features briefly in the standard edition of Unsung Women in Somerset, but there's a full chapter on her in the junior edition!

  7. @hildabast You encouraged me to peek... way further down the list @MostFollowed, but on it! After one year here, thank you Mastodonians interested in niche topics.

    Here's to remarkable #women & #illumination 📯

    My profile images are from books commissioned by #EleanorOfCastile & #MarieDeStPol, grandmother & best friend of the #LadyOfClare.

  8. 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.
