“There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.” Bess of Hardwick and her husband George Talbot were ‘asked’ by Queen Elizabeth to imprison rebellious Mary Queen of Scots in their home – the resulting tensions possibly fuelling the breakdown of their marriage. More about Bess in the latest HHE Podcast.

I feel like I can make a game out of spotting the #incest uous loop de loops in the #genealogy of a given hereditary #monarchy. Like, so many of these people have well under the normal 16 great great grandparents.

Here's #MaryQueenOfScots with two circles in her pedigree.

#OnThisDay, May 16, 1568, Mary, Queen of Scots fled to England seeking the protection of her first cousin once removed, Queen Elizabeth I (depicted in Mary Queen of Scots, 2018)

On this day in history. Mary Queen of Scots escaped from imprisonment in Lochleven Castle, on its island in Loch Leven, 455 years ago today on 2 May 1568. She would subsequently make an unsuccessful attempt to regain power in Scotland. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kinross/lochlevencastle/index.html

Mary Queen of Scots, Lennoxlove death mask and face reconstruction by 'Royalty Now' turned into a Gif. Nigel Tranter told me there were three death masks of Mary. So don't know if other casts were taken from original. #MaryQueenOfScots

Re the newly deciphered #MaryQueenOfScots letters my main takes are (1) #cryptography is awesome, and I love how exciting this is for my fellow computer scientists too; (2) it reminds us how much is hidden in #archives, uncatalogued or inadequately catalogued. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-64568222 #ScottishHistory #History #ComputerScience #Cataloguing #HistoricalResearch #ArchivalResearch

This is the kind of nifty thing I like about the internet. https://toot.wales/@LauraSaintChevalier/109829615648399550

Apparently letters from Mary, Queen of Scots were mis-filed as Italian letters in a French archive. Some nerds sussed this out and decoded the cypher she used.

Pretty slick that they could do this all these years later. And niftier that Mary, Queen of Scots could be trending centuries later.

(oh, and another time when #quotepost would be nice)
