TNA SC 8/97/4826: The Lion and the Saint of Gloucester

‘… social historian David Kynaston, told The Observer he suspects “a serious scandal is unfolding” John Wyver, Ian Greaves, Erica Wagner and others on the growing battle to prevent damaging changes to the BBC’s priceless behind-the-scenes archives:

They've been called 'american gentry' and speaking as a medievalist, it's not un-apt

Very cool call for papers for next year’s Leeds IMC!

📅Save the date: Sat. 25th Oct. 2025‼️ 📜 #TOEBI2025: "Education and Early Medieval England" 🏫 University College Dublin @ucddublin.bsky.social 🗣️ Alice Jorgensen @tcddublin.bsky.social 🗣️ Lindy Brady, Edge Hill University #️⃣ #medievalsky #OldEnglish

My book, Love and anti-Judaism in medieval English romance: Typologies of violence and desire, with @manchesterup.bsky.social, is coming out next month! I would be delighted if you might consider ordering a copy for your libraries 💚

If early medieval Aquitaine or Carolingian political culture is your jam, please do give this a read (also on Open Access thanks to @livunihss.bsky.social @livunilibrary.bsky.social)!

Fresh on early view: @eddiemeehan99.bsky.social on how Pippin I of Aquitaine (d. 838) balanced kingship "as an office and as a dynastic status". onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Hello! It might seem strange to have my first post here be a Call for Papers, but I guess it's a statement of my interests😊 ✨Call for Papers - Leeds IMC 6-9 July 2026✨ Comparative Approaches to Supernatural Encounters Deadline for proposals = 5th September 2025

Glad you enjoyed it! Definitely the most ambitious NWMS symposium we’ve ever run :) Great to see what my constant battles with technology looked like to everyone else 😂

Be my replacement for a year and work in a great School with lovely colleagues! Please share with any modern Europeanists who might be interested!

Another call for papers for our joint sponsored session with @networknorse.bsky.social - please share widely!

Scoil samhraidh 2025: gabhaimid ár mbuíochas le gach duine a ghlac páirt inti, agus tá súil againn gur bhain gach duine leas agus spraoi aisti. Summer School 2025: thanks to all who took part, and we hope everyone benefited from it and enjoyed it. www.dias.ie/2024/11/12/c...

Can anyone help with a passage from this will of 1450? Reading from "Et sinon..." in the top right corner. I'm getting stuck with "bonorum meorum in consilium? et p[ro?]vebil[?]" and then "post decessum predicte Margarete mancione mea nemi[?]detur?" Any suggestions very welcome!

I think about this quite often with the several major 7th c. battles between Northumbria and Mercia. Sure, they redefined dynasties and ushered in new regimes each time, but think of the 'Northumbrian' farmer in the Yorkshire Dales; would she have cared if 'her' king had been beheaded 70 miles away?

With some surprise, I am delighted to announce that I am taking a Tenure-Track job as Assistant Professor of Queer and Medieval Literature at SUNY Oneonta. Advice for incoming assistant professors is warmly welcomed! 🩷

Registration is now open for conference on the manuscript known as the "Book of Lecan", collaboratively organized by @ria.ie @ceilteachomn.bsky.social @scs-dias.bsky.social. Taking place 2-3 October at the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin: shop.maynoothuniversity.ie/index.php?ap...

I know IMC just happened… but, anyone Old Norse-y fancy giving a paper next year?

Treasure acquired! Also, the brilliant @pdht.bsky.social is now on BlueSky. I've been working for them as a collections manager for about 2 years, mainly in the world of policies and procedures, but the other day I had the superb opportunity to sign off and do a handshake deal for a 7th c. object

I'm a baker with a PhD, naturally I had to get my thesis turned into a cake 🤷🏻‍♀️

Really exciting lineup of papers this year for the biggest symposium the NWMS has ever run!

Last Ancient Celtic Lecture with @davidstifter.bsky.social at DIAS Summer School :)

As with most issues, the root cause of this is landlordism: very untalented, greedy people who own lots of buildings charging absurd rents for businesses to function, which then forces the businesses to match these rates w/ high prices, driving customers out, resulting in the businesses closing

obviously c) is that they should only be allowed to enter university challenge as “Oxford” and “Cambridge” unless each college wants to be individually assessed for the REF

Received a lot of love (and friendly ribbing) for my ‘early medieval kingdom tier list’ I debuted yesterday at #IMC2025 For what it’s worth, it’s a tier list of obscurity, rather than quality, hence why Gwynedd isn’t in S tier

Next up, @joshcoulthard.bsky.social on fourteenth century Lincolnshire petitions.

This is objectively true tho

Great to see the film marking JORVIK’s 40th anniversary available on YouTube - featuring various interviews with the original project team. I was fortunate to be at the premiere back in February, and can wholeheartedly recommend. Congrats to @christuckley.bsky.social and @jorvikviking.bsky.social!

Looking forward to #IMC2025 next Monday; I’ll be there discussing (again) the inception of 6-7th c. kingdoms and how we can use (and misuse) later forms of evidence to identify them Hope to see people there (unless they, like me, are conflicted choosing between the 50-100 equally great sessions)

Really enjoyed talking Jane Austen with @19thcenturyem.bsky.social a PhD student with @ehunineteen.bsky.social - some great #JaneAustenJuly recommendations youtu.be/xeGNIo5qpds?...

Come see me and @emma-nelson.bsky.social and Jessica Holt at @imc-leeds.bsky.social on Tuesday at 9am! Part of the Medieval Lincoln Documentary Cultures strand organised by @medievaljews.bsky.social and Jessica Holt

I am incredibly thrilled with everything that @liblarrian.bsky.social , Evangela &I have done for this project. Our grant was cancelled, but as of yesterday afternoon, this site is live. We have a little (& growing) digital humanities project on how to do cheap MSI grants.uccs.edu/illuminating...

Hey kids! First time at the #IMC2025 @imc-leeds.bsky.social? Here are some of Old Man Kramer's Hot Tips! #medievalsky

Resharing this because it really is a cracking article; found within a collection of archaeological essays on the Yorkshire Dales' landscapes and structures Sadly, it isn't available online, and I don't actually own a copy to scan

Very excited to be presenting at the IMC next week on Örvar-Odds Saga and the Barkman. 16.30-18.00 on Monday July 7th with the third Medieval Ecocriticisms panel 🌿

I’m sure LHPC 2026 is already being tentatively planned - I’d highly encourage all early career researchers to attend, regardless if you’re a fresh MA student or about to finish your PhD. It’s a superb event filled with inspiring research from a variety of disciplines and periods

So excited to be giving a paper at IMC! 16:30 on the Monday, if you like ecomedievaly things 🌿
