#OnThisDay 925 King Æthelstan was crowned in Kingston-upon-Thames. This contemporary picture of him presenting a book to St Cuthbert is the earliest manuscript illustration of an English monarch.
Look, if King Æthelstan can travel all the way from Wessex to Northumbria in June 934 to present a book to St Cuthbert, who'd already been dead for 247 years, you can pop to your local bookshop and get your dad a copy of The Anglo-Saxons for #FathersDay.
The Bayeux Tapestry (redacted) clearly proves that Bishop Odo didn't attend any parties.
"Just so everyone's clear, this is a work event, and technically part of the battle."
"Aha!" said Thomas Becket #OnThisDay 1170, "NOW we see the violence inherent in the system!"
Today's the 955th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, so obviously I'm reposting the scenes from the Bayeux Tapestry I made with Playmobil.
