Medieval Female Names from England I developed this list of medieval female names from England mostly through hard historical research,   although just a few of these names are from King Arthur. So if you’re a historical …

Signature moves: are we losing the ability to write by hand? We are far more likely to use our hands to type or swipe than pick up a pen. But in the process we are in danger of losing cognitive skills, sensory experience – and a connection to history

Do you write by hand and can you read cursive?
