        Of course, according to Richard of Devizes in c. 1192, no city in England was quite as terrible and sinful as London…pic.twitter.com/aiVvCWPGhI

        Brill. Never read someone from far in the past speaking directly to someone in the future. Or even acknowledging a far future

        @ClerkofOxford I love this passage so much, even though he's sticking up two fingers at Geoffrey of Monmouth

        Yes, little love lost! Tho doesn't this passage pre-date Henry's knowledge of Geoffrey? (or am I misremembering?) :)
