This is probably Bush and also Pullings's native dialect (though I have many MANY doubts about what exactly the methodology being used here was)

#they have texts and they have informants and they have the informants read the text but i'm not really sure how that's supposed to work #anyways this is definitely the dialect pullings grew up speaking since afaik he's the son of hampshire farmers #apparently chichester is in area 5 as well so also falls under this categorization #this is very unrigorous research btw. please take everything i am saying with a grain of salt i'm just fiddling around with an old book #i'll look for a good basic primer on history/dialectology of english at the library at some point perhaps #i do not have the historical context/cross-references to verify any of this guy's claims #i just really like dialect and english-language ones are so much fun what with all the crazy vowel combos #and apparently lots of rhoticity??? he's claiming this accent was also rhotic which is a little insane #would love to read a history of rhoticity in english tbh #perce rambles #adventures in historical sociolinguistics #percy yells at cecil scott #The Creative Endeavor and other aubreyad nonsense #if you go to the source there's a lot of texts in this section i just picked one

Gold Coin Reveals Unknown British King

New light has been shed on a little-known part of British history thanks to the extraordinary discovery of a coin bearing the name of a forgotten Iron Age ruler in Hampshire, south-east England.

The coin, which has the inscription “Esunertos,” was discovered by a metal detectorist in a field in Hampshire. Esunertos may have ruled as a king from the powerful Danebury Fort, according to experts’ speculation, and this find has been hailed as “one of the outstanding discoveries of recent decades.”

Leading Iron Age experts have studied the coin and deduced it to be struck by a pre-eminent male figure dubbed ‘IISVNIRTOS’ whose name translates as ‘Mighty as the God Esos’.

The coin was struck sometime between 50 and 30 BC, shortly after Julius Caesar’s first Roman raid of Britain in 55 BC.

The coin, which is thought to have been produced between 50 and 30 BC, was struck in conjunction with Julius Caesar’s first Roman raid on Britain in 55 BC when the Roman general and his 20,000 soldiers landed on the Kent coast. Despite a confrontation with Celtic warriors on the beach, the Romans encountered difficulties landing due to rough seas and eventually had to return home.

Gregory Edmund, Iron Age Coin Specialist at Spink Auctioneers said: “This fabulous piece of prehistoric artwork completes the mental image we have when we think of Iron Age Britain – the war horse and chariot.

“But it also surprises us with the appearance of classical languages like Latin.

Dr John Sills of the Celtic Coin Index at the Ashmolean Museum said: ‘It is one of the outstanding discoveries of recent decades in Celtic numismatics.’

Initially, it was anticipated that the gold coin would sell for around £4,000 ($5000) at auction. But contrary to all expectations, it broke a record at Spinks Auction by selling for an astounding £20,400 ($25,500).

The coin was found by Lewis Fudge, a metal detectorist who received permission to search a farmer’s field in March this year. Lewis Fudge expressed his elation, stating:

“I am over the moon. If it were not for people in the auction room, I would have jumped around. The collectors I spoke to are gobsmacked. I’m so glad I did not take them up on their private offers before the auction. To think my find has generated its own Wikipedia page is incredible.”

Spink Auctions describe the coin as a quarter slater with the obverse side of the coin bearing the name Esunertos in Latin, and with the worn head of Apollo formed of three interlocking rows of outward facing crescents, a seven-spoked wheel at center in lieu of the ear, and an eye of visage with radiating spike towards the neckline.

The reverse of the coin has a tripled-tailed horse, with a pincer-like mandible for face and linear ear, with pelleted mane, yoke or bucranium above the head, an 8-spoked wheel above spearing into the horse’s back, and double or triple ringed annulet below.

Digital portrait of James Scott, Duke of Monmouth

(05/2023)

Based on a portrait of him from about 1683, with my own spin on it!

Probably most people aren't familiar with the Duke of Monmouth, but living a few miles away from where the infamous battle of Sedgemoor (the last battle fought on English soil btw!) took place means I've known about him for basically my whole life! (there's also a local legend that Queen Victoria pulled the blinds of her carriage down when she was travelling through the area because of how the Somerset people had supported the Duke lol) He was an illegitimate son of Charles II and attempted to overthrow his uncle (James II) by inciting a rebellion across the West Country but was unsuccessful and ended up being executed for treason...

But recently I discovered that there was a rumour that after he was beheaded, they realised they didn't have an official portrait of him, so they stitched his head back on his body and had him 'sit' for a portrait lol

Have to say that this is totally untrue, of course lol (there's several portraits done of him prior to his death), but it's such a bizarre and gruesome detail I couldn't resist including a hint of it in my painting here!
