International woman of history, biographer, posh doomer, thwarted nihilist, not goth, Saint-Just fan girl, chaotic good, anxious, flame haired Robespierre, ENFP, a sweet titbit for the Devil's mouth.

Currently working hard on my fifth book - a study of women guillotined during the French Revolution.

  • I'm in the latest edition of @allabouthistorymagazine talking about the formidable Katherine Willoughby, Duchess of Suffolk - who may or may not have been pencilled in by Henry VIII to be his seventh wife. #art #beauty #arthistory #inspiring #beautiful #portrait #history #16thcentury #tudor #womenshistory #britishhistory #royal #tudors #holbein #writer #writing #duchess
  • Walked into my bathroom to find this. He's so proud of himself. ❤️ #cats #catsofinstagram #kitten #kittensofinstagram #adorable #cat
  • I just found this in a box. My best friend's mum gave it to me on the day that I left Scotland at the age of ten, because I always read it whenever I stayed at their house - which happened a lot over the winter because sudden blizzards would leave me stranded and unable to get home. HAPPY TIMES. It's probably my oldest possession. #history #historian #ladyjanegrey #tudors #tudor #16thcentury #britishhistory #royalfamily #royalty #royal #princess #queen #poorlifechoices
  • Lady Jane Grey was executed in the Tower of London on this day in 1554. Paul Delaroche originally planned to paint the execution of Marie Antoinette but anti-Bourbon feeling in Paris at the time led him to pick Lady Jane as a subject instead. #art #beauty #arthistory #inspiring #beautiful #portrait #history #19thcentury #victorian #tudors #tudor #16thcentury #britishhistory #royalfamily #royalty #royal #princess #queen #poorlifechoices #ladyjanegrey
  • I've been super poorly over the last few days but am slowly getting back to work again today as I have a deadline tomorrow. Luckily, I have this lovely guy to keep me company while I work. #cats #catsofinstagram #kitten #kittensofinstagram #adorable #sleepycat #beautiful #gingercat #marmaladecat #adorable #cute #beautiful 😻
  • On this day in 1840, Queen Victoria married her first cousin Prince Albert, who was her mother's nephew. The wedding ceremony took place in the Chapel Royal of St James Palace, London. #art #beauty #arthistory #inspiring #beautiful #portrait #history #19thcentury #victorian #fashion #style #pretty #lovely #womenshistory #fashionhistory #dress #queen #britishhistory #royalfamily #royal #royalty #queenvictoria #wedding #weddingdress #bride #love #romance #RoyalWedding
  • Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded in the great hall of Fotheringhay Castle on this day in 1587. #art #beauty #arthistory #inspiring #beautiful #portrait #history #stuarts #stewarts #scotland #scottish #scottishhistory #16thcentury #castle #britishhistory #royalfamily #royalty #royal #royalhistory #queen #maryqueenofscots
