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?

I am beginning to pull together my bookshelf for the #MedievalMoversAndShakers.
I've been pleasantly surprised that #Aethelflaed has been fairly easy to find. So far, #Rahere is represented by a couple of pages in "London".

Can any #histodons recommend biographies of #Rahere the founder of St Bart's, #Aethelflaed the Lady of the Mercians, or Dame #JulianOfNorwich?

#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.

#MedievalMoversAndShakers

During a pause in stitching #WilliamMarshall, I read an article on Rahere's church and the foundation of his hospital in London, and now I have an idea for a sequence of #OpusAnglicanum panels of #MedievalMoversAndShakers.

This is how an idea gets out of hand!
