Queen Elizabeth in Coronation Robes

Artist: Old Master

Genre: Portrait

Date: circa 1600

Medium: OIl on Panel

Collection: National Portrait Gallery, London

Description

Queen Elizabeth I of England in her coronation robes, patterned with Tudor roses and trimmed with ermine. She wears her hair loose, as traditional for the coronation of a queen, perhaps also as a symbol of virginity. The painting, by an unknown artist, dates to the first decade of the seventeenth century (NPG gives c.1600) and is based on a lost original also by an unknown artist.

1973 Alpine A110 1600S

Price: 98,000 CR, Stock: C/550, Setup: C/500, Color: Factory Blue

Alpine's only offering to the Forza Horizon 5 autoshow is a classic rally racer, boasting a 1605cc inline 4 Renault engine pushing 138 horsepower into a body that weighs less than a ton. In game, this car is also nimble in all terrain types, but the limits of 1970s tech puts this car in C rank. However, for all of the game's roster of rally cars, this one boasts a particularly low price tag.

The Pendle "Witches" existed within the context of a LOT of Catholic recusancy in Lancashire and the "witches" themselves were essentially herbalists and village healers (likely refusing to attend the English Church and taking up communion in secret).

I understand why a lot of fantasy settings with Ambiguously Catholic organised religions go the old "the Church officially forbids magic while practising it in secret in order to monopolise its power" route, but it's almost a shame because the reality of the situation was much funnier.

Like, yes, a lot of Catholic clergy during the Middle Ages did practice magic in secret, but they weren't keeping it secret as some sort of sinister top-down conspiracy to deny magic to the Common People: they were mostly keeping it secret from their own superiors. It wasn't one of those "well, it's okay when we do it" deals: the Church very much did not want its local priests doing wizard shit. We have official records of local priests being disciplined for getting caught doing wizard shit. And the preponderance of evidence is that most of them would take their lumps, promise to stop doing wizard shit, then go right back to doing wizard shit.

It turns out that if you give a bunch of dudes education, literacy, and a lot of time on their hands, some non-zero percentage of them are going to decide to be wizards, no matter how hard you try to stop them from being wizards.

“A 16th c. Scottish Plaid was Found in a Bog–Now Becomes Oldest Historical Tartan Available to Wear Today”

A textile manufacturer in Scotland has recreated the oldest-known piece of Scottish tartan ever found, which was buried for centuries.

Discovered approximately forty years ago in a peat bog, the Glen Affric Tartan underwent testing organized by The Scottish Tartans Authority last year to confirm it was the oldest surviving piece of tartan, dating back to between 1500-1600 CE.
