Have you ever received news that rocked your world? I did on Thursday 7th March. It was not good news and has really made me revaluate what I want from life. So from now on, this website will mainly be focused on my passion for history!
You’ll see plenty of changes to the site coming up (though not immediately) and many areas of History will be covered. “What are those areas?” I hear in the distance. Well find them below! Expect no great historical insights as I am an enthusiastic amateur, but expect plenty of passion.
Posts will focus on;
Monarchy of England from Alfred the Great to Elizabeth I
History of Bishops of Rome (The Pope), from Saint Peter to Francis I (though there will be more emphasis on Popes in the Italian Renaissance)
The Norman Conquest 1066-1072
The Angevin Empire 1154-1259
The Crusades 1095-1192
Warfare and Strategy of England and Western Europe 1066-1485
The Knights Templar 1119-1312
Politics and Warfare of the Papal States and Wider Italy 1450-1600
Early Ottoman Empire 1453-1566
The Western and Ottoman fronts of the First World War 1914-1918
The Western Front 1944-1945
The Italian Campaign 1943-1945
The RAF since the Second World War 1945-2012
This is not an exhaustive list of what I will post about but covers most of it. I have a passing interest in the American War of Independence and the Napoleonic Wars. I also have a more detailed interest in espionage and Special Forces, but those topics are obviously harder to research. But these are the main topics I will be writing about.
I hope everyone is well and in good health!
