Started reading this book, I picked up a couple of weeks back in the new Waterstones book shop in Bangor. The Hollow Crown by Dan Jones is about the War of the Roses, Houses of Lancaster, York and the Tudors, plus elements of the 100-year war between England and France. A real-life Game of Thrones for the English Crown. 3 Chapters in and very interesting #mybookcollection #book #medievalhistory #medievalhistorybook #danjones #danjoneshistorian #thehollowcrown #waroftheroses #gameofthrones #reading #readingtime #history #historybook #houseoflancaster #houseofyork #thetudors #100yearswar

“My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!” - The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien A fascinating introduction into the history and historiography of dragons in the medieval period! The book also has a cool thing where there are small images of dragons in the corner of each page and when you flick through the pages fast enough, it looks like the dragon is flying, like a flipbook. I wish more books did that… #introducingthemedievaldragon #thomashonegger #dragon #dragons #dragonhistory #medievaldragon #medievalhistory #medievalhistorybook #history #historybook #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookaddict #books #booklover #bookreview #readersofinstagram #bookcommunity
𝕸𝖊𝖉𝖎𝖊𝖛𝖆𝖑 𝕭𝖔𝖉𝖎𝖊𝖘 I know this isn’t a witchcraft-related post, but I wanted to share another of my great loves: medieval history. The Middle Ages has always interested me, ever since I was young. It is without doubt my favourite era to learn about & I’ve always consumed as much information as I can about it. Medieval medicine in particular has been of interest to me recently. The way the medical world & the spiritual world were so closely intertwined in this period is fascinating to learn about; everything from how medieval people viewed blood within the body, to how they would treat boils, Medieval Bodies by @jack_hartnell has been an absolute joy to read so far! 🩸 (p.s please ignore my very pale legs) • • • • • • • • • #bookstagram #book #books #booklover #bookworm #bookworms #bookrecommendations #bookreview #booknerd #read #reading #history #historylovers #historybook #medieval #medievalhistory #medievalhistorybook #medievaltimes #summer #summerreading
A new book arrived today for my PhD research, one that I’ve had my eye on for a while. I’ve had a quick flick through already and am eager to get to it!
Actually taking five minutes and having a read of this amazing book, which I received yesterday as a Christmas gift! 📖🤓 𝘊𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘥𝘦: 𝘈𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘣𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴 by Marquita Volken and Olaf Goubitz contains so much information. Not only that, it shows step by step reconstructions for different types of bladed items... brilliant! 😊 Definitely trying out these methods for my swords and knives when I have the time. Also, sporting some @myoddballs pyjamas that were also a gift. 😂 #History #Medieval #MedievalHistory #MedievalHistoryBook #HistoryBook #Book #NonFiction #9thCentury #10thCentury #11thCentury #12thCentury #13thCentury #14thCentury #15thCentury #16thCentury #HighMedieval #MiddleAges #LateMedieval #Archaeology #Archaeological #Leather #LeatherWork #Sheaths #Scabbards #oddballs
Son Düello( #TheLastDuel -2001) Ridley Scott'un, Orta Çağ Edebiyatı Uzmanı, Edebiyat eleştirmeni ve yazar Prof Dr.Eric Jager'ın #TheLastDuelATrueStoryofTrialbyCombatinMedievalFrance isimli gerçek hikayeden yola çıkarak yazdığı tarihi kitabından uyarlanan epik dönem filmi. Düello, kanıtlanması zor olan tecavüz, cinayet gibi ceza davalarında başvurulan bir yöntem olarak kullanılıyor. Kitap/ film adını, Fransa Krallığı’nın bu tür konularda tek resmi karar yeri olan Paris Parlamentosu’nun aldığı kararla tecavüze uğrayan #MargueritedeCarrouges davasının resmi kayıtlara geçen son Adlî Düello olmasından alıyor.👌 #EricJager’in, yıllarca süren resmi kayıtlı belgelerde yaptığı araştırma sonucunda Orta Çag meraklılarının bir solukta okuyacağı The Last Duel'i 2004 te yayımlıyor.👏 Kitaptan farklı kurguyla, kitabın özü korunarak muazzam bir şekilde yazılan senaryoyu, senaryo oscar sahibi #MattDamon ve #BenAffleck'e, Nicole Holofcener de kadın bakışıyla dahil oluyor. Zira film, aynen 1950 tarihli Raşomon'da olduğu gibi, farklı bakış açısıyla aktarılıyor.👌👏 #RidletScott'ın görkemli sinemasal diliyle, hikaye, kanlı bir sanat eserine dönüşüyor. Etkileyici oyunculuklar, sanat yönetimi muhteşem. Bu filmde Ben Affleck'i bile sevdim🤗 Dönemin sosyal hayatı, erkek egemen derebeylik düzeni, sıkça yapılan savaşlar, adalet, onur, haysiyet, namus, sadakat, aile, toplumda kadının yeri, kilisenin yeri , soyluların eğlence anlayışı gibi kavramlar dikkat çekiyor. Mahkemede kadına sorulan sorular da ayrıca kan donduran cinsten!🤨 Film düello sahnesiyle açılıyor, davaya konu olan 3 kişinin bakış açısıyla düello sürecine nasıl gelindiği anlatılıyor. Değişen anlatıcılarla birlikte sinemasal dil de değişiyor. Marguerite de Carrouges 1386 tarihinde hemcinslerinin bile düşmanca tavırlarına aldırmadan sesini çıkartması hem de çok çok ağır ne olacağı belirsiz düello sonuçlarına rağmen tek başına direnmesi,cesaret ötesi bir durum. Aklıma #NecdetYılmaz'ın 2003 te birincilik ödülü aldığı karikatürü (10.resim) geliyor, değişen sadece teknoloji ve aletler ne yazık ki, ortaçağdaki kör zihniyete günümüzde de tanık oluyoruz.😔 #cineliterature #sinedebiyat
An appropriate bookmark for the book I think! 📖 A shame that Tummers never continued this study into the 14th century to allow the overlap for early 14th century effigies. #History #Medieval #MedievalHistory #MedievalHistoryBook #HistoryBook #Tummers #13thCentury #Effigies #RecumbentEffigies #TheBlackPrince #EdwardWoodstock #EdwardTheBlackPrince #CanterburyCathedral #Book #EarlyEffigies #EarlySecularEffigies #MartialEffigies #Effigy
I remember a while ago mentioning to @lucylu992 that I love looking at the title pages of my antique books, due to the names and dates written in them. One of them, in my collection, is roughly 270 years old now! 📖 So, my lovely partner remembered this and purchased me a custom made ink stamp by @sweetbackflip for my birthday, stating 'From the Library of Joshua Ralph' to add my name to all my books! 📚 😁 #History #HighMedieval #Medieval #MedievalHistory #Book #DanJones #DanJonesHistorian #HistoryBook #CrusadersBook #SignedBy #Crusaders #Crusades #MedievalHistoryBook

My latest listen and probably my most academic audiobook, as you can probably tell it is meant to help me with next week's Later Medieval Europe exam, which is likely to have some kind of question (essay or source based) on feudalism. Probably also the hardest subject because there are so many debates on the definition
