New Anthology of Historical Essays

My post at English Historical fiction Authors this month is on the plunder of Basing House in the English Civil War. Read the post here.

The Plundering of Basing House exhibited 1836 Charles Landseer 1799-1879 Bequeathed by Jacob Bell 1859 http://www.tate.org.uk/art/work/N00612

Basing House inspired some of the events in the Highway Trilogy where I imagined the occupants of Markyate Manor might have suffered a similar fate. The painting above is The Plundering of Basing House by Charles Landseer, 1836, courtesy of the Tate.

Another related post which features in their new anthology, Castles Customs and Kings Volume II, is about what happened when soldiers came to stay. Find the original blog post here. During this period, if soldiers were billeted on you, you had little choice in the matter, and their stay could be dangerous and destructive. 

This whopping new anthology features several more articles from me, and also great articles from all your favourite historical fiction authors. Whether you like Romans, The Wars of the Roses, the Tudor Court, or Victoriana, there'll be something in here to tempt you, and much food for thought.

  4. Again, this second method is only for those who’ve spent lots of time in the free nba 2k18 locker codes MyCareer grind already, but it’s still a decent way to get things done. As the headline implies, either method is active within the 1.04 update. Both options have their drawbacks, but 2K is generally pretty skilled at patching glitches that lead to huge rewards instantly. As with any VC glitch, we are not responsible for any bans or punishment that may or may not result from using them.
