      The Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II not only sent a camel to King Henry III of England in the 1230s, but also 3 'leopards', sometimes thought have actually been cheetahs (Image: a drawing of a cheetah wearing a collar, c.1400–1410: http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=717251&partId=1 …).pic.twitter.com/9Cdqjimcdc

      There is also good textual and archaeological evidence for the presence of Barbary macaques from North Africa in Britain & Ireland, including bones from medieval Southampton, London & Carrickfergus, see http://www.caitlingreen.org/2018/02/barbary-ape-wroxeter.html … :)pic.twitter.com/NH7QAbuBMV

      Returning to camels, worth noting that they seem to have been used as beasts of burden and tools of humiliation in early medieval Europe: https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/736624442328092672 … :)

      Although camels are not recorded from pre-Conquest Britain, Aldhelm—Abbot of Malmesbury Abbey & Bishop of Sherborne—is said to have made use of a camel as a pack animal when travelling back to England from Rome in the late 7th century… http://www.caitlingreen.org/2016/05/camels-in-early-medieval-western-europe.html …pic.twitter.com/ilh0F9uOhA

      Of course, not impossible that camels were present in Anglo-Saxon England & just not recorded; def were camels in 10th-century German & Polish menageries, as well as in 9thC Carolingian Francia (Pic=camels in the Old English Hexateuch, written in Late Saxon England, c.1025-50).pic.twitter.com/c9dWo67RrZ

      Dr Caitlin Green Retweeted Prof Diane Watt

      In this context, worth noting that there do seem to have been menageries in Anglo-Saxon England; not only are peacock remains known from two sites (one Middle Saxon, one Late Saxon), but there's also some documentary evidence from the 10th century: https://twitter.com/Diane_Watt/status/1041665982631223296 … :)

      Replying to @caitlinrgreen
      Edith of Wilton had a menagerie in the 10th century. Doubt there was room for an elephant in Wilton Abbey, but such zoos were a display of wealth for the aristocracy, even those devoted to God.
