Did commoners own any land? Were there real estate moguls in cities which rented space to shop keepers and such?

Kind of, yes.

I've discussed this earlier, but "alloidal title" wasn't really a thing in medieval societies, thanks to the legal doctrine of "nulle terre sans seigneur." (No land without a lord.) Thus, the overwhelming majority of land tenures were various forms of leases or use-rights.

So yes, commoners could have extensive landholdings, whether they be rural yeomen or urban burghers, but they tended to be in the form of long, long-term leases rather than what we would consider to be ownership today.

So for example, when Thomas Cromwell was making his dizzying run up the social ladder in the 1530s, he mostly did it by snapping up hundred year leases to valuable properties in town and country, and only started acquiring formal titles when he made it into the aristocracy.

Concept: A Yeomen production advertising by running a social media campaign to get Fairfax reprieved, with the execution date written as the show's opening night

"Don't let a good man be sacrificed on the altar of superstition! #AmnestyForFairfax!"

"Send in your name for Phoebe Meryll's petition by July 14! #AmnestyForFairfax!"

"The TRUTH about Sir Clarence Poltwhistle's involvement in the Fairfax conviction! Say #AmnestyForFairfax and prevent a legally-sanctioned murder!"

"Shall the flower of England's brave die because a Secretary Of State wants to increase his material standing? #AmnestyForFairfax!"

You know what show I really hope the ghosts put on while they were all together? HMS Pinafore. Everyone from Fanny onwards most likely knew it reasonably well already, either by cultural osmosis or from being a theatre gay, and for the rest it's probably the easiest operetta to pick up that's ever existed.

I imagine it would have gone down something like this:

Josephine Corcoran- Kitty

Ralph Rackstraw - Thomas

Absolute no-brainers for the lead soprano and tenor. Ralph scores extra points for being one of the most dramatic and flouncy tenors Gilbert ever wrote. At one point he has a speech that's so flowery it's genuinely incomprehensible. Unfortunately his big aria is terribly dull (still in-character tbh) but both of Josephine's are brilliant. Especially "The hours creep on apace", where, having secretly accepted Ralph's proposal, she does waver a bit since, after all, he is a bit of a pleb.

Captain Corcoran - The Captain

Keeps the Pinafore ship-shape and Bristol-fashion. Would have a lovely father-daughter relationship with Josephine. Gets to be in lots of bangin' numbers, especially "I am the Captain of the Pinafore".

Captain: I do my best to satisfy you all -

Crew: And with you we're quite content!

Captain: You're exceedingly polite and I think it's only right to return the compliment.

Sir Joseph Porter - Julian

Marvellously smug and superior patter baritone who got to his lofty position via flattery and luck rather than merit. No direction needed.

Little Buttercup - Fanny

I think she would struggle playing someone who's meant to be lowly, but on the other hand she'd probably really get into every other aspect of the character, especially when she gets to drop mysterious hints all the way through, and dramatically reveal the twist at the end. (She also really reminds me of the mature student who played Little Buttercup for my university's Light Opera Society once, who was very definitely another repressed middle-aged horndog. Get it, girl.)

Cousin Hebe - Mary

Not much of a part, but I suspect getting Mary to concentrate on something like this for any length of time without going off on a tangent would be... tricky. Would be enthusiastic about helping Josephine and might have to be held back from headbutting Captain Corcoran when he tries to stop the elopement.

Dick Deadeye - Robin

Hunched, triangular bass Dick Deadeye growls his way through the opera causing chaos just... 'cos. Is far more perceptive than the Captain and has to really spell out that Josephine and Ralph are planning on running away together.

Bosun's Mate - Humphrey's head

Carpenter's mate and director - Pat

This probably required slightly delicate handling, since Pat is the better singer (and He is an Englishman is harder than it looks), but a) keeping rehearsals from descending into anarchy probably took all his energy and b) Humphrey might have been slightly grumpy being relegated to a really tiny role again. At least they both get to be in A British Tar is a Soaring Soul.

Chorus of sisters, cousins, and aunts - Humphrey's body

Carries the whole show on his back.

#bbc ghosts #gilbert and sullivan #G&S #posts I made instead of doing actual work #and which will be of interest to absolutely no-one but me lol #I bet Cap played Cousin Hebe at school and got a huge thrill from it #sometimes to make the role bigger they'll put in When Maiden Loves from The Yeomen of the Guard for her #and that is a very lovely yearning song that probably really appealed to him for no reason in particular; definitely not #I imagine Lady B suddenly getting into it would be quite alarming for the Captain but that sounds hilarious so #also I imagine that everyone does all the chorus numbers #trying hard not to imagine what Julian does during We Sail the Ocean Blue on the line 'as the balls whistle free o'er the bright blue sea'

It’s not only a new uniform. It’s a new era. 🎖️

The Tower of London was part of history when HM King Charles' new cypher was revealed on the new Yeoman Warder uniforms.

—

The Yeomen Warders of His Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, and Members of the Sovereign's Body Guard of the Yeoman Guard Extraordinary, popularly known as the Beefeaters, are ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London.

In principle, they are responsible for looking after any prisoners in the Tower and safeguarding the British crown jewels.

They have also conducted guided tours of the Tower since the Victorian era.

All warders are retired from the British Armed Forces and must be former warrant officers with at least 22 years of service.

They must also hold the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal. The garrison consists of 32 (formerly 37) Yeomen Warders and one Chief Warder.

Although the Yeomen Warders are often referred to as Yeomen of the Guard, a distinct corps of Royal Bodyguards of the British monarch, the Yeomen Warders are in fact a separate entity.

Originally in rrl lazarus' inn was exclusively a loyalist gathering place but given that his politics are entering into the territory of A Secret Third Thing it would be both conceivable and much funnier if it's actually frequented by radicals too and the 2 groups just sit on opposite sides of the room silently giving each other dirty looks the entire time
