I've just started reading Janina Ramirez' Femina which starts with a discussion about Emily Davison, the suffragette who threw herself under the King's horse at the Derby. The section is about how she and many of her peers were medivalists who revered Joan of Arc. But Ramirez also mentions the hate mail Davison got from men on her deathbed, something I didn't know. It seems the world has changed little in the last 110 years, at least when it come to a certain type of man.

If it is hard to get a handle on Cathars generally, then it is even more so with regards to Cathar women. Accounts are contradictory, with some stating they could hold the very highest roles within communities, while others say there was 'no great tolerance for women.' A role call of fascinating individuals come and go with passing references in inquisitorial records: Berengere 'put aside the sect of the heretics, was reconciled and received a husband.' Fabrisa kept a group of Cathars safe at her castle in Montreal, but was forced to flee from crusaders. Berbeigueira was a believer for 30 years and had to watch as her husband, on his deathbed, expelled all Cathars from their home. From these records, we can be sure that many women were drawn to Catharism.

history facts!!!!!!! yes please

ANON SO TRUE!!!!

HISTORY FACT! the Bayeux Tapestry is NOT a tapestry, nor is it from Bayeux. it's an embroidery (tapestries are made on looms - this was not), and it was created by nuns in Canterbury. it may have been commissioned by Odo of Bayeux but it's not actually from there.

Bonus since we're on the topic - that guy everyone thinks is Harold Godwinson on the Bayeux Tapestry??? that ain't him.

Beneath the name 'Harold', we can see a man with an arrow in his eye, and for a long time people have assumed this was Harold Godwinson (who was King of England at the time) but it's NOT

And we know it's not him for a couple of reasons

As a general rule, the action described in the tapestry text typically appears at the end of the sentence. The man believed to be Harold is not in the right place for this to be correct

Recent examinations of the tapestry have found that the thread used to embroider the arrow in 'Harold's' eye dates back to the 19th Century. The Bayeux Tapestry was made in the 11th Century. This was not an original addition (typical Victorians, fucking with history - but that's a rant for another post)

By looking at accounts from around the time of the Battle of Hastings, we know Harold didn't die from an arrow to the eye - dude got dismembered real bad <3

So when we consider all of this, it's much more likely that the real Harold Godwinson is actually the man on the ground to the right of the figure most people label as him👍

Borderlands (2024): A New Kind of Disappointing

The Eli Roth 2024 film Borderlands is a new kind of disappointing. It may be based on the video game and have a stellar cast, but it falls short. Very short. Tropes, cliches and a lack of cohesion make this one a huge fail. It is not unusual for fans of video games to be downright disgusted by celluloid versions of their darlings. *I, on the other hand, have only really despised the Uncharted…

Emma [of Normandy]'s control over her children, willingness to shift allegiance and adaptability to change had a huge influence on eleventh-century English politics. Wife of kings, mother of kings, landholder and game-player, Emma embodies the complexities of the decades leading up to the Battle of Hastings.

Two major recent developments have thrust Emma back into the limelight. First, a copy of the text written in her praise, the Economium Emmae Reginae, was discovered in the Devon Record Office in 2008. It had been languishing in the library of Powderham Castle for 500 years, when the holdings of Breamore Priory were claimed by the Earl of Devon after the Reformation. It then moved to the Record Office in the 1960s, but it took another 45 years for its relevance to come to light. Only one other copy of the text exists, held in the British Library. But the two texts show a major difference: the first version concludes by extolling the virtues of Emma's son with Cnut, Harthacnut, while the second praises her son with Aethelred, Edward the Confessor. Emma was hedging her bets, commissioning two versions of the same text with different outcomes.

Thoughts on "Femina", by Janina Ramirez.

[hoursofreading]

If a baby is fighting an infection, for example, various signals of that infection, from actual infectious agents like viruses and bacteria to more subtle indicators like the stress hormone cortisol, will be present in the baby’s spit. When that spit gets sucked up into the mother’s breast, the tissue reacts and her immune system will produce agents to fight the pathogen. Her milk will carry them into the baby’s mouth, providing extra soldiers to combat the infection and help the baby’s own immune system learn what it needs to fight. In response to raised cortisol, the milk glands and surrounding tissue will also bump up the dosage of immuno-agents in the daily brew, and it may also send down the line a number of signals to soothe the child. Some of those signals are hormonal—stuff to directly counteract the inflammatory properties of cortisol. Some of them are nutritional, with added knock-on effects to change the baby’s mood. For example, milk produced by a breast that’s nursing a child who’s stressed tends to have differing ratios of sugars and fats, providing extra energy to help the baby’s body fight off any potential invasion. It can also work as an analgesic, damping the baby’s pain response and helping it rest; after all, quite a lot of healing happens when we’re calm and asleep.
