There's nearly 10 episode of my medieval English king series.
I've got three more episodes left to release and then the series is done.
One of the episode will involve having to visit medieval pubs, oh woeful me.

Happy well, 959th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings.
Here's a battlefield map I drew of Hastings.

Two years ago, I embarked on an ambitious 3D reconstruction model of Dover Castle, recreating how it might have looked at the time of the Great Siege in 1216. Working with a team of architectural and military historians, the digital model and 3D renders took over five months to develop. #Blender3D

Computer 3D model reconstruction of Dover Castle as it might have looked in 1216 on the eve of the Great Siege of 1216, when the Castle defended an attack by an Anglo-French rebellion against an unpopular King John of England. Working closely with a team of architectural and military historians, the digital model absorbed over 800 hours of work over five months. Laser survey and GIS data, hundreds of measured architectural drawings from Historic England archives, old engravings and paintings, and the findings of three detailed archaeological reports were analysed to create the digital model. Photographic textures, 3D renders, and manual digital painting helped bring the Castle's history to life through richly detailed images. The completed images were created for the exhibition, Dover Castle at Siege, which English Heritage opened in July 2024.

Another good depiction of dining from the British tapestry.

I've been researching wine production and distribution in the middle ages and one of the earliest depictions I've found is on the Bayeux tapestry.
This is the Victorian British tapestry at the Reading museum, my own photo.

I'm a big fan of the sour cherries in the tangtastics.

Richard the Lionheart being the highest rated medieval monarch shows what a good PR team can do for you.

I often look at this graph of data on the kings and queens of England and it makes me happy that Henry 8th is so negative.

I will have been making videos on YouTube for 8 years next year and the strangest interaction online I've had was on Twitter, where an account implied they had masturbated to my voice, on one of my king John videos.

This was before Musk took Twitter over.
