My condolences!

Oh dear. Good thing it’s readers are totally normal 🫂

"X account"? Prithee tell me thoust are not consorting with devils who cite their scripture in places most foul?

Oh shit! If you've ever seen that not very good conspiracy film thing with Mel (fruitcake) Gibson where he thinks they're on to him & goes nuts & destroys his home with ever more elaborate sabotage devices (best bit in the film) well, that's what you need to do. Become a ghost fake history dudette!

I've seen that film and the scene, I also liked the bits with the buying books and silent helicopters. I've been prepared for years... I've had a strange life and previous career, I can vanish in seconds.

*silently in awe* 😮

Oh no. Brace brace brace!

Well, I enjoyed this account whilst it lasted.

Duck and cover...increased probability of incoming lunatics...

As someone with either Swedish or Norwegian ancestry, I find this exciting to know!!

'Well-known historian' - I'm not sure whether to be pleased for you or sorry the Mail are quoting you 🤔

But are you relying on anything other than facts?

Taking show director is confusing 11thC Normans with 5thC Franks. As in Reges Criniti. Long haired kings. @archeodgarcia.bsky.social @davidpetts1.bsky.social @jtpmedieval.bsky.social Lets go back in time. As we know in Rome and Constantinople, men sport hair a la Stilicho&Justinian. Hair in 5thC ./.

@archeodgarcia.bsky.social @jtpmedieval.bsky.social @davidpetts1.bsky.social Bearing in mind warfare was very physical mano a mano, long hair wasn't an asset. It may be this dying Galate hair style is ruffled but it shows Barbarians sported short hair. They went to battle making their hair short ./.

@fakehistoryhunter.net @davidpetts1.bsky.social @archeodgarcia.bsky.social @jtpmedieval.bsky.social Bayeux tapestry gives us short hair logical on a battlefield. At the risk of making unhappy fans of Led Zeppelin styled inhabitants of the heptarchy, hair was short be it for Normans & Franks ./.

@davidpetts1.bsky.social @jtpmedieval.bsky.social @archeodgarcia.bsky.social @fakehistoryhunter.net Merovingian antrustions were probably also short hair as for their long haired kings, define long hair. Could be cavalier hair cut, could be a bob reaching earlobe. King helmet could hide a ponytail.

Naturally this musing is way too arduous for @dailymail.co.uk As for the TV series director, see mood below

Hahaha. I started episode 1 tonight and even having not seen your posts about it, I knew you'd be pulling them up on the peasant's bride thing the moment it was mentioned!
