Two of the Lewis Chessmen currently on display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. Discovered in 1831 on a beach at Uig on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, the chessmen date to the late 12th or early 13th century. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday #LewisChessmen

A proof shilling of Queen Anne that was minted in 1707 as part of the Edinburgh mint's efforts to recoin all the silver Scottish coins in circulation into new British coins. This proof specimen from the Hunterian was minted to a higher standard than regular circulating coins.

The biography of a man who saw it all in #Tudor terms; Ralph Sadler was born in 1507 and died in 1587, which means that he lived through pretty much every major event of the epoch. #AnneBoleyn fans might want to reach for the smelling salts, though; the author is most certainly NOT a fan #History #bookreviews

The first #book I ever bought authored by @ENortonHistory; I’ve read a couple of the other Anne of Cleves works but this is still probably the go-to one for me #Tudors #History #BookRecommendation
