        In contrast, here's Matthew Paris's 13th-century drawing of King Henry III's elephant in the royal menagerie; it was a gift from Louis IX of France in 1255 and lived in the Tower of London: http://britishlibrary.typepad.co.uk/digitisedmanuscripts/2013/05/the-elephant-at-the-tower.html …pic.twitter.com/RSI9ZIkoFg

        Dr Caitlin Green Retweeted CWAC Museums

        Worth noting that there are also medieval elephant remains known from Chester, radiocarbon dated to AD 1290—1410:https://twitter.com/cwacmuseums/status/940295256339288064 …

        Dr Caitlin Green added,

        Incredibly, this Chester find is an elephant bone dating from between 1290 and 1410. It is currently on display in the Newstead Gallery at the Grosvenor Museum. But how did an elephant bone come to Medieval Chester? We’d love to hear your theories. pic.twitter.com/zgBqg5g5YX

        Thank you. That is a fantastic page. I really enjoyed going through the individual elephants. Shame that some of the links are dead, but quite a few of them are still up. :)
