Compilation of Shakespearean Insults
- “Villain, I️ have done thy mother”
- “Away you three inch fool”
- “I’ll beat thee, but I️ would infect my hands”
- “I️ am sick when I️ do look on thee”
- “More of your conversation would infect my brain”
- “Thine face is not worth sunburning”
- “Thou art unfit for any place but hell”
- “Thou damned and luxurious mountain goat”
- “You are as a candle, the better burnt out”
- “Your brain is as dry as the remainder biscuit after voyage”
- “Drunkenness is his best virtue”
- “Thou crusty batch of nature!”
- “The tartness of his face sours ripe grapes”
- “Out of my sight! Thou dost infect my eyes”
- “Thou hast no more brain than I️ have in mine elbows”

I’ve just finished the mega epic Poldark saga, I’m still waiting for Versailles series 2 and I’m on the hunt for some decent non-fictions books re: Regency England or Enlightenment France/Louis XIV/Palace of Versailles. I’m totally new to Regency era England since I’ve typically never strayed past the late 1600s so I’m looking for a place to start (I’m on a Poldark high and I never ever wanna come down); as for Versailles, I’m always on the hunt for books written about Philippe d’Orleans but I’ve read the only biography in English. I’m open for pretty much anything that I’ve not yet read.
Hit me up with recommendations!!!!
My lecture today is on the princes in the tower. Times like this I fucking love studying history
<p>Had possibly the best weekend ever on home soil… leaving the North at 3am on Saturday morning proved worth it when we arrived at Hastings at 8am, a full two hours before most of the other visitors. We got the whole battle site almost to ourselves (besides all of the ‘Saxon’ and ‘Norman’ campers and re-enactors) and got to see both the preparations for the day and all the volunteers going about their medieval early morning business.</p>
<p>Day 1 was topped off by the battle itself (which I wasn’t too sure I’d enjoy, but I’ve been converted!) and I can now honestly say I understand what my college history tutor meant when he made a huge deal of William the Conqueror taking his helmet off in the midst of battle. I think I got goosebumps. </p>
<p>Sunday took us to the beautiful Salisbury Cathedral, where I was so happy to find the Magna Carta exhibition still on (a nice parking attendant told us it’s there permanently from now on), and had a good 'ole peruse of the gift shop, having to physically pull myself away from the bookshelves and only leaving with 3 new books (quite an achievement tbh).<br>
And then on to Stonehenge! Still such a mystical place at the actual stones, and very atmospheric.</p>
<p>All in all, not the worst weekend ever!

tfw you’re really really really far down a history research rabbit hole and the more you learn, the more awful things get but you can’t stop because the need to find an origin point for this one particular thing is niggling you.
