VoyleraStepping into #PippingfordPark during the #MedievalFestival feels like the modern world just stopped existing. I spent the day wandering between #falconry displays and the #archery range, surrounded by people who take their #history seriously. The #jousting is intense, but the real charm is the #medieval tavern where stories flow as fast as the ale. A perfect way to spend a bank holiday weekend in #EastSussex.

She was appointed heir by her father Henry I, then usurped by her cousin Stephen after Henry’s death. The civil war between the cousins is known as the Anarchy and lasted from 1138 to 1153.

Panorama of the MountainsBook Review: The History of Henry IV, Part 1 by William Shakespeare
Author: William Shakespeare
Title: The History of Henry IV, Part 1
Publication Info: New York : Simon & Schuster Paperbacks, 2020. [Originated circa 1597]
Summary/Review:
Of the Shakespearean English histories I’ve read so far, this one is the least stand alone. It definitely feels like it’s setting up Henry IV, Part 2 and Henry V. King Henry IV has a couple of problems: first, he falls out with Henry Percy – a.k.a. Hotspur – who allies with Welsh and Scottish rebels against the king. Meanwhile, his son Prince Hal is leading a licentious life with his rowdy friend Sir John Falstaff. I’ve known from reading about Shakespeare that Falstaff was an incredibly popular character, cowardly yet quick-witted, but I found him kind of irritating. Hopefully, I’ll find him more entertaining in upcoming plays. The various storylines come together with Prince Hal regaining the king’s affections by fighting the rebels at the Battle of Shrewsbury.
Rating: ***
I’m reading every Shakespeare play, one per month, in chronological order. Here’s my progress thus far:
The Mercian Pilgrim 🌲 ⛰️In this video, I visit a spooky abandoned graveyard just outside Bewdley in England.
Once a place of Christian worship, Dowles Graveyard is now reputedly a site of devil worship and holds two women with disturbing stories. One of demonic possession, the other known as "The Bewdley Witch".

Hidden in Shropshire is a priory whose origin is unclear, and is reputedly haunted. Join me as I explore White Ladies Priory and talk about the site, and a little about its ghosts.
