God it’s early! There’s only a few people I’d crawl out of bed for at 5am. Good thing @bbc6music @laurenlaverne are those people. Coming to your ear buds soon!
How is this for treasure?!?! One of the Seven Wonders of Belgium, the 32 pieces of medieval Mosan art in this collection are truly remarkable. Not least because we know the 12th century artist behind them – Hugo of Oignies. He even included his portrait on the famous book covers. The treasures were hidden in the wall of a farm house to protect them during the early nineteenth-century French suppression of the monasteries, but thanks to a team of brave nuns, they were saved and are now deeply treasured by the people of Belgium. I’ll be talking about them during my @histfest course from 10th Jan so be sure to join me! http://histfest.org/medieval-women/

I’m often found creeping around old churches, usually in the dark. But visiting the beautiful Collegiate Church of St Gertrude in Nivelles was a particularly eerie one for me. The lights were out, and around every corner I found the triumphant and slightly terrifying statues of Gertrude, graves, relics and skeletons. I was on the hunt for the 7th Century patron saint of cats, Gertrude, who was a total bad-ass – refusing marriage proposals, shaving her head to pass as a monk, and running her own powerhouse in Belgium. The spookiness just added to the excitement of finding her! You’ll have to wait for my next book to find out more OR book on my January Histfest course where I’ll share some discoveries… http://histfest.org/medieval-women/
