JANUARY VIDEO Q&A... ASK YOUR QUESTIONS NOW!!!
I'll be recording the answers this Friday... what's on your mind?
Somehow or other the end of the month is in sight. So, let’s do a Q&A.
The process is simple. Post your questions for me in the comments on this post. On Friday (or thereabouts) I’ll send out a video post answering as many as I can fit into about 45 minutes.
If you want to watch December’s answer session to get a feel for The Vibe, it’s in two parts, here and here.
You’ll have to be a paid subscriber to ask the questions. Click here if you want to become one.
The video post with the answers will of course go out to everyone on the mailing list.
Over to you!
Dan
PS I’ve now announced the winners of the Essex Dogs and Wolves of Winter signed book grab. (See here - but I’ve already emailed you directly if you won.)
Between Kantorowicz’s hagiographical portrait and David Abulafia’s reappraisal, which camp do you fall in for Frederick II Hohenstaufen? Was he a brilliant model for enlightened despotism or a ruthless power player whose ultimate purpose was hegemonic and dynastic supremacy? Perhaps both?
Not sure if this might be in the works anyway, but I’ve always felt Frederick II and Kantorowicz deserve a special “This is History” episode. Cheers.
Hi Dan, back in November you made a highly skeptical post about Philipa Langley's "discovery" that "proved" Richard III did not murder the Princes in the Tower. I believe this post was made before watching the Channel 4 documentary. Did the documentary alter your opinion at all?
