231 years ago today, Marie Antoinette was executed by guillotine in the Place de la Révolution. The very blade believed to have ended her life is now on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London 🤯

Drop a comment if you've either had the opportunity to see this amazing, yet horrific, artifact, or if you plan to do so! I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.

I admittedly asked ChatGPT to turn me into Anne Boleyn... and I couldn't be more disappointed 😂 I don't see the resemblance. Do you? Also, please share with me if you get better results with your own photo!

Episode out now! Georg Honauer was a man of ambition and bold confidence, living during a time when alchemy was at the height of fascination. Seizing the opportunity, he sought to impress Friedrich I, Duke of Württemberg, with his grand claim: the ability to turn ordinary metal into gold. But in his overconfidence, Georg may have miscalculated the risks—leading to a dramatic and tragic downfall. In this episode, the punishment is as fitting as it is "iron"-ic, as we explore the dark consequences of a failed alchemical dream.

Sunday morning reading 📖✨ ‘She-Wolves’ by the brilliant feels more like a gripping novel than historical non-fiction. It brings to life the fierce women who came so close to ruling England—Matilda, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella of France, and Margaret of Anjou—each battling a world that refused to see them as equals. If you love history with a side of drama, this one’s a must-read! 👑🐺 •

New episode is out! Meet Catherine of Alexandria — the brilliant, fearless, and slightly rebellious saint who gave 4th-century philosophers a run for their money. From outwitting emperors to holding her own in a debate with the greatest minds of her time, Catherine wasn’t just a pretty face (though, she probably had one of those too). One of her biggest legacies was actually having a torture device named after her. Tune in to find out why!

My love for Tudor history started when I was 9 years old and my grandma told me at the we are related to Sir Thomas More. Can you see the resemblance!?

Thomas More was an English lawyer, philosopher, and statesman who served as Lord Chancellor under King Henry VIII. He was one of the few that I personally think Henry saw as a friend… up until his arrest and ex*****on, of course. Thomas tried to counsel Henry, but was unable to convince him not to divorce Katherine of Aragon and break from the Catholic Church.

In 1534, Henry VIII introduced the Oath of Supremacy, which recognized him as the “Supreme Head of the Church of England.” The oath also required recognition of the validity of his marriage to Anne Boleyn.

Thomas More refused to sign it, and despite being one of Henry’s closest companions, the king needed to prove to his subjects that he wasn’t going to tolerate this snub. He had Thomas More beheaded at Tower Hill on July 6, 1535.

Sir Thomas More was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church on May 19, 1935 (ironically the 399th anniversary of Anne Boleyn’s death). My family had a professional family tree created to confirm our direct relation to him, and I couldn’t be more proud to have him as my great x20ish grandfather 🥹
