Enjoyed that. I was thinking of going out for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it might watch now to see if there are other strange rites. Maybe the Tampon of Infidelity (as someone suggested) could be involved? Or a fly past organised by the Keeper of the Royal Pigeons at Sandringham, to deposit lucky droppings as another anointment.
I've just been writing, for a forthcoming book, about Mercia's Early medieval queens and royal women - many of them progressive monastic entrepreneurs. Conspicuous as the consort of King Offa is Cynethryth, the first English queen to have her own coinage minted, and participant in a long-running legal dispute over her ownership of Cookham minster. Northumbria's queens, too , are politically conspicuous - West Saxon queens are sadly much less visible. Enjoying your blogs and podcasts - thanks.
