Battles made history but disease could decide the outcome. Medical historian, Kevin Goodman, reveals the deadly fevers, pestilence & contagions that haunted Civil War Worcestershire, filling graves, weakening armies & altering the course of history. Not for the faint hearted..⬇️
New Film Drop looks like a cracking story - how can anyone not instantly like someone called 'Tinker Fox' !
NEW FILM The West Midlands in the Civil Wars ‘Tinker Fox: Birmingham’s Roundhead Brigand’ brings to life the civil war experiences of Fox, scornfully nicknamed 'the Jovial Tinker' by his royalist enemies. worldturnedupsidedown.co.uk/tinker-fox-bir…
Next Tuesday evening, 23 June, join us for a walk around 17th century St Ives, to find out more about life in the town in the 1600s including a great fire, markets, puritans and of course Cromwell. More details and bookings at: cromwellmuseum.org/whats-on/cromw…
The scene setter narrative of Prince Rupert & the massacre at Birmingham continues to be open to debate, but the strength of this film lies in the reconstruction of Fox's activities & some explanation of local garrisons. The format works well. Very informative.

There is such gross bias in this: "Rupert's men cut through the town in an orgy of death and destruction." 30 Royalists soldiers died, 14 Parliamentarians—40 taken PoWs. Just 17 civilian deaths—some fighting alongside the soldiers—by Parliamentarian accounts, 1 by Royalist ones.

@Warwalks @Helionbooks @1642Author @17thCenturyLady @thistlewthorns @SueCooperBridge @RoyalStuartSoc @MilitaryHobby1 @RestorationHat @Whittlelad @world_turned What a fascinating glimpse into 1685. I love how the Highland setting makes the whole story feel even more dramatic.
@JadeJesty_ @world_turned I really did enjoy it. Some fascinating parallels with my own 18thC interests
THIS! A really captivating account of Royalist Newark, (and a fascinating glimpse into a genuinely popular and patriotic conservatism, of a proudly independent variety. )
