The History Carnival No 43 is now up at Axis of Evel Knievel. My eye was particularly caught by some alternative history – what would have happened had the Gunpowder Plot succeeded, and a spectacularly entertaining and probably time-wasting online source, Kirby’s Wonderful and Scientific Museum: or Magazine of Remarkable Characters; Including all the Curiosities of Nature and Art from the Remotest Period to the Present Time, Drawn from Every Authentic Source.
But it is a huge carnival, so you are bound to pick out other favourites…
And while I’m pointing to resources, BBC Radio Four’s In Our Time, on the Peasants’ Revolt (the English 14th-century one) is rather good. You should be able to listen to that for at least a week. Or you can download it.
