    If I could hop in a time machine, I would absolutely go wander around one of those Flemish cloth fares… mell maybe I’d link up with a merchant and do the whole circuit. Medieval textiles are a delight. I wish we had more remnants left from that time. Frankly, it’s a testament to the quality and skill of the 13th century hands that spun and wove that cloth. Todays’s fabrics can barely make it through two washings without breaking down. Yet, we somehow have managed to hang on to natural fiber textiles made over half a millennia ago. Just incredible.

I highly recommend them. It was great to learn more about this fascinating and overlooked Medieval/Renaissance figure. Thank you!

    My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting the Jerusalem Church in Bruges several years ago. It is out of the way of tourist traps and is a quiet place to visit. One of the most intriguing artifacts is a cross of gold, with ornate jewels. In the middle of the cross, a piece of wood is affixed. It is the only piece of wood claimed to have come from the cross of Christ that even the most ardent denier cannot disprove. If you ever find yourself in Bruges, please take the time to find it. The church is a special place, with a rich history.

    A few months after Anselm’s assassination in 1483 there was a coup attempt against the Scottish king by some of his relatives: he had already had some of his close relatives executed. Anselm being on good terms with James iii, and James iii having restored trade with Flanders and being a bit of a suck-up to the English at the time, the rebels-to-be may have perceived Anselm (perhaps correctly) as coming to Berwick On Tweed - which is on the east coast and close to the English border - for some sort of diplomatic business, or about to cross into England &/or over to Bruge for such.
    One way or another, they may have thought he was on a mission to get help for James either with money, armaments or troops.

    But... The Holy Sepulchre is not pronounced Seh-pull-cher, it is pronounced Seh-pull-ker. A small thing, but as it was the focus of the religious imagination of all of Medieval Europe during the crusades, it is worth getting the pronunciation correct.
    Also, it is important to understand the difference between Cal-vary and Cav-alry. Jesus wasn't crucified on horseback, after all.
