#OnThisDay in #history - in 1199, John "Lackland" became king of #England after the death of his elder brother, Richard I.
Richard had named John as his heir, skipping over his nephew Arthur (as the boy was only 12 and John was an adult), but Arthur rallied forces to fight against John to take his inheritance.
After being taken captive, Arthur disappeared, like several other English princes, never to be seen again. John ruled until his death in 1216.

The old Fulling Mill, on the banks of the River Wear in Durham, forms part of the 'classic view' of Durham Cathedral.
Originally a water mill and house, it dates from the C17, but may have incorporated parts of an earlier building.
Sadly, it’s ten years this summer since the building, which had become the Durham Museum of Archaeology, had its contents moved to a new home at Palace Green. Such a shame that since then, it has stood empty.

paduasoy posted "English Historical Fiction Authors," a group blog that has been going since 2011, where researchers and novelists post about British history. "There are posts about wool and war, Schools of Gardening for Ladies, beds and bugs, aspirin, theatrical censorship, magazines, tours of Ruthin and Snowdon, slipcoat cheese and posset, subversive fairy tales, and The Learned Pig," and more fascinating linked selections. Lovely.

Originally, this building was the grammar school for the town of Bampton, in the Cotswolds, England. Today it houses the Bampton archives. You may recognize it as the hospital for the popular tv series, Downton Abbey.

Dear #BBCNews, #WestminsterAbbey has not “hosted every British coronation since 1066”. They hosted most but not all #English coronations from 1066, and none of the #Scottish coronations. Even after the Union of the Crowns in 1603 Scotland continued separate coronations until Charles II, not least because of the #EnglishCivilWar resulting in Charles II being crowned King of #Scotland in 1649 at Scone Abbey, and didn’t become King of #England until the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.
