Let’s uncover history as it’s rarely told!
Medieval Musings is a newsletter and membership community run by
, DPhil student in Archaeology at the University of Oxford. I came to Substack to connect with other readers and writers of medieval history, as well as to show that the Middle Ages were about more than just kings, battles, and castles (though I love all three).Out of a passion for uncovering the lives more often left out of the history books, we explore the lightness and brightness that existed in those so-called ‘Dark Ages’ before the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.
