Why are we not talking about Sir William Neville & Sir John Clanvowe, the two gay English knights buried together in a tomb with marriage motifs???

Who were friends with Chaucer and possibly the inspiration for his The Knight's Tale?

And also maybe SPIES? #MedievalTwitter

Colleagues of #medievaltwitter: if you have a flyer, poster, slide advertising a medieval women/gender class, I’d love to have a copy or link via dm or email. I’m writing a talk in which I mention that such classes are widely taught, & would like to show a few examples in my ppt

You need this game!
Hear me out:

This is one of my all time indie faves.
