Pleased to announce that my new article on John Heywood’s ballad for Mary I’s wedding to Philip of Spain is now out in the Transactions of the @RoyalHistSoc
cambridge.org/core/journals/…
It identifies the likely tune, Pastyme with Good Company, and explains what this would have meant to Mary and her subjects.

Today, for the first time ever, I am on strike. @LancasterUCU You will not see me on the picket line (at least not yet) because frankly, I’m exhausted. @ucu here’s my #precaritystory
I have very mixed feelings about this strike for a number of reasons, but in the end, how else will things change?
I passed my viva in 2015. For a year I had no work.
