Took this at the beautiful Kiplin Hall in Yorkshire, which is a treasure trove of travel souvenirs (of the posh kind) and random inherited items, amongst a vast array of antiques and artworks. This definitely fits the theme of 'unexpected encounters'! Image shows a sizeable block of old, dark wood atop a cream crocheted lace mat. It looks historic and was on a table at the side of a room. On the table in front of the block is a small notice in calligraphy that reads; 'Family tradition asserts that this piece of wood is part of the BLOCK on which Charles I was beheaded and given to the Duchess of Cleveland, Lady Baltimore's grandmother, by Charles the Second.' So who knows if it's true! Either way, it was fascinating to see.

I was invited to something very exciting today in Westminster Hall, inside the UK’s parliaments the hall was built in 1097 and was one of the largest halls in Europe. Thomas More, Charla I and Guy Fawkes were tried in the hall #westminsterhall #westminster #charlesi

I'd love to read a biographical account of #CharlesI children during & after ECW, from their perspective first as Parliament captives & then refugees in Europe.

I've read one on just the princesses, but can't find a wider perspective on all the siblings together. Any ideas?

Happy Mothers day to all out there and those remembered ❤️

Happy Mothers day to all out there and those remembered. The hardest challenge in the world. Charles I had an incredibly close & playful relationship with his, Anna of Denmark. Addressing her as "Most worthy mistress" As letter he wrote at 10 years old displays ​"Most worthy Mistress, ​I beseech your Majesty to pardon my long silence, for the love I bear to my sister's company has made me forget my duty to you. I am sorry for your Highness' sickness, and I am far sorrier that I should be the cause of it, by being so long in coming to see you: but I hope that the good news of your recovery will make me as glad as I was sorry for your sickness, and especially because it is troublesome to you, and has deprived me of your most comfortable sight, and of many good dinners. I kiss your Majesty's hands. ​Your Majesty's most humble servant, ​CHARLES." #KingCharles #History #MothersDay #CharlesI
