Hey #Medieval Twitter, I’ve been thinking about how much fun it would be to start a podcast about medieval women. Would anyone be interested in collaborating on a project like that? I realise the world might not necessarily need another history podcast, but… I don’t care. DM me!

You’ve seen illuminated manuscripts. But what about… illuminated biscuits? 🤔 #MedievalTwitter

Designs include: a group of animals looking up at the stars; Reynard the fox addressing some chickens; a dog; a knight fighting a snail; a peacock surrounded by golden vines; a festive hedgehog; an illuminated letter with a stern religious figure in the centre; a bat with its wings outstretched, surrounded by a golden border; a sacred salmon surrounded by golden vines and stars.
