COMMENT ON THIS POST any questions you have about the theme of early medieval women - I’ll do my best to answer and leave time for any questions at the end of the live too.

🖋️ Saturday 11th January: Medieval Oxford, a photo travelogue of my weekend trip for my DPhil research.
📖 Saturday 18th January: Hild’s Tale instalment 4.
Hild’s Tale is a historical fiction novel based on (though not tied to) real events that took place in the kingdom of the Northumbrians during the late seventh and early eighth centuries. Abbess Hild, or Saint Hild as she later became known, was a woman who defied social and political expectations to become one of the most powerful people - yes, people, not women - in seventh-century England. Despite this, she was sidelined in the major contemporary histories; this story aims to give back the spotlight she so rightly deserves.
