October 30 - Elizabeth I's favourite is driven to desperation
On this day in Tudor history, 30th October 1600, Queen Elizabeth I refused to renew Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex’s monopoly on sweet wines, saying that “an unruly horse must be abated of his provender, that he may be the easier and better managed.”
It may not sound like a major event, but it was for Essex and it drove him to desperation and, ultimately, to the scaffold.
Why? What was going on? How could the queen's refusal to renew this monopoly lead to Essex's undoing?
Find out what was happened in 1600 and what happened next with the queen and her favourite, in today's talk from author and historian Claire Ridgway.
Also on this day in Tudor history, 30th October 1485, Henry Tudor, 2nd Earl of Richmond and son of Lady Margaret Beaufort and the late Edmund Tudor, 1st Earl of Rich...

Being Collected: Aboriginal Objects in the British Museum
Being Collected: Aboriginal Objects in the British Museum
2022
Much is often said about the British Museum and objects collected in colonial times. This presentation will firstly explore the history of the 19th century Aboriginal collections in the British Museum, with a particular focus on New South Wales. Looking at what, when and how objects were collected, it will explore the idiosyncratic ways this collection was formed and the various participants in the process. It will then present some of the ways the British Museum has been working with Australian institutions and communities, including in Sydney, over the past ten years to revitalise these collections with new meanings and histories.

2022
Much is often said about the British Museum and objects collected in colonial times. This presentation will firstly explore the history of the 19th century Aboriginal collections in the British Museum, with a particular focus on New South Wales. Looking at what, when and how objects were collected, it will explore the idiosyncratic ways this collection was formed and the various participants in the process. It will then present some of the ways the British Museum has been working with Australian institutions and communities, including in Sydney, over the past ten years to revitalise these collections with new meanings and histories.
