It's the third of my eight day series where I rank a group of eight historical figures on a scale of S to D (superb to terrible) based on how well they succeeded in their duties and/or goals, their skill in battle, and by what we know (if anything) about their general personalities as normal … Continue reading Ranking History: The Wars of the Roses Historical Figures: Queen Margaret
Today is the second of my eight day series where I rank a group of eight historical figures on a scale of S to D (superb to terrible) based on how well they succeeded in their duties and/or goals, their skill in battle, and by what we know (if anything) about their general personalities as … Continue reading Ranking History: The Wars of the Roses Historical Figures: Edward IV
Most of us have probably seen those reels or videos of people ranking objects, people, or things as crazy as personality types on a scale of S-D (S being superb and D being the worst).

Caught … Continue reading Medieval Book Review: Of Flaw and Scorn
Last month, I introduced my new series Inspiring Events to you. Today's new series which I am excited to present to you, Medieval Heirs (Who Never Ruled), is similar to that series, except that it is going to be focusing on medieval British heirs to the throne who never ruled, whether from a premature death, … Continue reading Medieval Heirs: Robert Curthose
When this blog was in it's infancy (way back in early 2022) I wrote the first of my monthly book reviews on To Birmingham Castle by Alicia Willis, an indie published medieval Christian book which caught my attention on Goodreads. It earned a 4/5 stars from me, and I decided to read on in the … Continue reading Medieval Book Review: Rising to the Challenge
We all know the typical events for starting a war or rebellion: over-taxation, an assassination, or political corruption. But did you ever hear about the prank which caused a rebellion?
