Allen was a highly regarded 17th-century mathematician and astrologer. He was, in fact, so talented that rumours began to circulate that he was a magician. These rumours were amplified by Allen’s relationship with Queen Elizabeth I’s head astronomer, the occultist and atheist, John Dee. Allen was also an early supporter of ou

If Shōgun was on your watchlist between Christmas and New Year, here’s the real-world history behind it. When Tokugawa Ieyasu became shōgun, English navigator William Adams helped shape Japan’s early trade with Europe. The result was a shuinjō — a red-sealed trading licence. The original document is held by the Bodleian and is on display now in Treasured.
