Historian Alison Weir & the Medieval Queens of England talk at Alleyns School


Recommended Posts

Join Alison Weir on Thursday 16th November as she shares with us the dramatic story of five Norman queens from her new book Queens of the Conquest. From Matilda of Flanders, who supported William the Conqueror in his invasion of England in 1066, to the turbulent Empress Maud who founded the Plantagenet dynasty as the mother of Henry II. Stripping away centuries of romantic mythology and delving beyond the prejudice and credulity in contemporary sources, Alison will reveal a more balanced and authentic picture of these extraordinary women.


Love, hate, ambition and tragedy all feature in this epic saga.


Tickets are ?10/?8. BOOK TICKETS HERE www.village-books.co.uk


This event is taking place in The Great Hall at Alleyns School Townley Rd, Dulwich SE22 8SU and begins at 7.30pm

    • What is also happening - I don't know about Sainsbury's as I no longer shop there, but certainly in other supermarkets and with some manufacturers - is that products remain the same price but the quality or quantity is reduced. Just one example: I buy Waitrose Essential tissues, only because they have plain boxes with no branding once they are in use, and I like the colours (blue for the large ones and mauve  for the smaller ones). The tissues in the mauve box have recently become so thin that they disintegrate virtually immediately you use them. Same with Cushelle quilted toilet rolls. Well, they don't disintegrate, which would be revolting, but they have also got so thin that it's hardly worth buying the quilted ones. And as for  PG Tips ...... 🤬

    • I used No-Flies a couple of years ago. They were great. Loads of recommendations on here.
