Your channel to me is like a fabulous old book with text and pictures you discover in a cardboard-box on the side of the road, that you otherwise would have never seeked out, but are so happy you found it

Thank you Allen. True story. In 2003 my late hubby and I visited York on a tour. We were meant to have 2 and a half days there , ended up with 2 and a quarter days. Hubby knew my desperation to see Middleham castle but it didn’t work out. So, dash off to the museum and ask the guard “ I have 20 minutes, is that time enough to see the Middleham jewel’. ‘ come with me love’ says he as we dashed through the exit passed people coming out. Dash, dash down rows and ‘ there you go dear’. Look, look ‘ oh, thank you’ and off we go again. Out through the entrance with me trying to open my purse at the same time. “ ‘ no charge my dea’ says my knight in shining armour , haven’t had that much fun in Ages. What a kind, kind man. Hubby, on his walker , waiting out the front. “ my fault entirely sir, I was a tad slow for her”. Absolutely 100% true. I will never forget that man’s kindness. I was heartbroken at not getting to Middleman ( dream of mine since 11 and, believe me, long time since I’d seen 11!) and somehow this kind man ‘knew it’ It’s just glorious isn’t it. In my mind, just to imagine that Anne Neville may have once touched it - enough for me. ( did finally get to the castle years later - only for 20 minutes - once again thanks to the kindness of York people. 🙏🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

When I was growing up my dad would go around the dinner table and ask each of us kids to tell him one or more new things that we learned that day. It was a wonderful way to keep us engaged and to demonstrate the joys of learning new things. As I watch your videos I always learn new facts about Medieval history and of the churches that were built during that time. If my dad were alive I would definitely share with him the many new things that I learn from your fascinating videos. They never disappoint.

As a (very) amateur historian this fascinates me, especially because I know Middleham well and have looked out over the same fields where it was found. Knowing that place and how little it has likely changed, I can almost picture medieval people riding through the landscape. I wonder who owned it, how it was lost, and what stories it could tell ?

With the Tau cross it could of been a member of an elite brotherhood of Antonines or the knights of St Anthony. The other possibility is a member of the Guild of the holy trinity. Sir Roger de Bois, effigy of a knight and his wife Lady Bois are wearing the tau cross on their mantles in the holy trinity church in Ingham Norfolk. Preying for their souls and others including Edward 111. I don't think it was lost, most likely buried, considering its condition , either soon after Richards death or during the reformation.

There's a good chance it was made in the low countries maybe Bruges and gave to the English elite as diplomatic gift creating a political alliance along with many other gifts handed around, the French were probably doing the same as they both wanted England as a strong trading partner, this would of caused factions.
