My mother was telling my uncle about my planned #MedievalMoversAndShakers project, and received the plaintive response, "Do you think you could persuade her to pick someone more pronounceable next time?!"
So, when #Akhenaten is done and on display, when #Athelflaed and #Rahere are finished, and #Placidus is in progress...
Who shall I look into next?
#placidus #rahere #athelflaed #Akhenaten #medievalmoversandshakers
I have four people in mind..
#WilliamMarshall 1st Earl of Pembroke, jouster, statesman, guardian of kings, guarantor of Magna Carta.
#Athelflaed, Lady of the Mercians, war leader and peaceweaver, guardian of Athelstan.
#Rahere, jester, minstrel, courtier and monk, founder of St Bartholomew's.
#DameJulianOfNorwich, anchoress, mystic, author of the the first book in English known to be written by a woman.
