The Lombards are travelling through Time (not via TARDIS) to @imc-leeds.bsky.social for 2026! Especial thanks to @samdrowe.bsky.social and Kaiyue Zhang for their significant efforts in bringing this together. We can't wait to see you all!

I'm delighted to be presenting my research on the #Lombards once again at the next IMC. The focus this time is on the very specific and evolving strategies of identification of the eighth-century royal couple Ratchis and Tassia (r. 744–749 and 756–757). #medieval #medievalsky #IMC2026 #identity

Circulating this CfP for Leeds #IMC2026 on the evolution of the Lombards and Lombard identities through time. #MedievalSky #skystorians

It was a pleasure to present at @imc-leeds.bsky.social this year on how Lombard queens navigated strategies of identification, part of the ongoing research for my thesis. Thanks again to the organisers, other speakers and the audience, who had some great questions. #medievalsky
