Four Bronze Horses

Thursday, 6 June 2019, 7:55.Reading time 2 minutes.

There are four beautiful bronze horses in St Mark’s Basilica, Venice. I was lucky enough to spend a few days here, in a hotel 20 seconds walk from Saint Mark’s Square. Regretfully, I didn’t go inside the basilica but the outside was a true feast for the eyes. Now – these four horses […]

Bolingbroke Castle

The ruins of Bolingbroke Castle is a handful of miles away. I’ve visited often and used to sit on the stones there, daydreaming! Local legend says that it was destroyed by Oliver Cromwell in the 17th C – the site of the Battle of Winceby is close by. Bolingbroke was the birthplace of […]

Giordano Bruno

One of my all-time favourite historians is Dame Frances Yates. Even now, when I can see her as a product of the academic fake history construct, her work is proving invaluable. She writes about a shadowy figure called Giordano Bruno – a 16th century Dominican monk who was tried and burned at the stake for […]

The Republic of Genoa

Genoa. Genoa. Genoa. There is “something” about the Republic of Genoa that I can’t quite grasp yet. It’s so bloody annoying! Why do the history books all say that Christopher Columbus was from Genoa when he was more probably from Chios? He was Greek. I’ve covered him and his son Hernando already here a while […]

Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon has been bugging me for quite a while now. I have this sense that his official history is All Wrong but can’t work out why. Two questions – Was Napoleon a little, angry megalomaniac bent on causing havoc wherever he went? OR Was Napoleon pissed off because he hated how the new world order, […]

Legendary Damascene Steel

Original Damascus Steel is beautiful and coveted, supposedly ancient and legendary and now a lost knowledge. It’s manufacture is strongly linked with Syria (it’s in the name!) but did you know that the Cossacks were famous for their Damascus Steel swords, sabres, shields and chain-mail armour? The Cossacks had a fearsome reputation. Their weapons could […]

Messing about with Time In 1937 two Yorkshire brothers found the remains of a very old ship in the mudflats on the north bank of the River Humber. The site was excavated by experts over the next year but then all work halted. World War Two had begun. After the war, the brothers revisited their […]
