I personally get a little shiver of excitement when I spy a new email from your good self. It might sound a bit wanky, but it means alot that you give a toss enough to want to interact with us weirdos. I hope you have a lovely Christmas with your beautiful family, please pass on kisses to Prince from his fangirls Taiyo and Kumo xx

Thank you for ALL you do. It seems you’re busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. I for one appreciate all you do! You introduced me to the Plantagenets in my late 60s and I’m grateful ! I can’t get enough! I’ve been reading book after book listed in your book on the Plantagenets and have not been disappointed! Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!!

Merry Christmas to you Dan! I do so love seeing your emails pop up even when I swamped with work and overwhelmed by the world. This place is a bright spot. Thanks for building it and I for one will keep on coming! As a European History Uber Nerd who is often mocked in my day job as a Reality Casting Director but the youngs who never get my frame of reference, it's nice to find other like minded people, shepherded by an excellent historian who also happens to be a killer storyteller. Can't wait for interviews next year - they are a fave element of This Is History Plus! Thank you!

Merry Christmas, Dan! Thank you for this Substack. One of my goals for next year is WAY LESS social media so I very much appreciate this avenue for filling my history nerd cup. Subscriber since day one and plan to be here for as long as you are!

Oh wow - I was trying to remember when that Chalke talk on Henry V was... a whole decade, huh. The story is much MUCH more fascinating than I realised even then.
