Misuse of history - can make things confusing, conflating Shakespeare with what really happened at the Tower - dispelling myths #IMC2015

Many 'difficult histories' are untold but should be told i.e., Traitor's Gate was financed by heavily taxing the Jews #s1041 #IMC2015

Good morning, #imc2015! We're here at #s1044 where the first talk by Valerie Johnson looks at #gender, #names, and the outlaw tradition.

.@sovereignforest: Outlaw women play key roles but are rarely named (most show up in 1590s or later). #imc2015 #s1044

Focus today: #RobinHood ballads from 1465 and later. Women's names were popular names _when added_ to the canon. #imc2015 #s1044

In literature, choice of #names provides local realism to offset the unbelievable plot. #imc2015 #s1044

#s1044 Authenticity of names and setting creates a real, relatable context for improbable and fantastical stories. #IMC2015 @sovereignforest

#s1044 Much and Clim rare outliers and add to realism. Possibly suggest northern context for setting. #imc2015 (Or reaching wider audience?)
