Fuck Yeah, History Major Heraldic Beast

Those who forget the past are doomed to fail the midterm.

The History Major Heraldic Beast will post anything pertaining to any field of history. The beast is aware that right now this blog is mostly western European/American history, but those have been the submissions popping up in the inbox. Don't be afraid to submit your wry observations about the Mali empire, or the Ming dynasty, or Clovis culture, or the effects of Soviet collectivization on the indigenous people of northeastern Siberia. They will be posted.

If it's tagged "submission", I neither made it nor wrote the commentary beneath it, unless the words "The Beast Says" are involved.

The History Major Heraldic Beast will not post submissions containing racial or ethnic slurs. Seriously, people, what the fuck. You know who you are. Stop sending them in.

yesterdaybells asked: Can I get some Anglo Saxon love up in here? Today's the 945th anniversary of Hastings, after all!
Here is the Bayeux Tapestry, and here is a wonderful documentary on the Battle of Hastings and Bayeux Tapestry hosted by Marcus Brigstocke, and here is Benjamin Bagby reciting part of Beowulf, and here is my favorite Anglo-Saxon poem, Wulf and Eadwacer, and here is a pagan metal band that sings in Anglo-Saxon because why the fuck not, and here is my other favorite Anglo-Saxon poem, The Wanderer, and here are the Lindisfarne Gospels.
