Exciting times for the study 11thC England: the 'lost' seal of Edward the Confessor has been rediscovered in the Archives nationales de France! #SkyStorians #MedievalSky

I thought the format was a great idea and especially helpful for graduate and PhD students. There'll also be a follow-up, as far as I know!

Herzliche Einladung: Im Sommersemester organisiert der Master Mittelalterstudien an der @uniheidelberg.bsky.social wieder eine Ringvorlesung mit spannenden Vorträgen, diesmal zum Thema „Corpus Delicti. Vom ‚True Crime‘ zur Mediävistik“ 😊 Wir freuen uns auf zahlreiche Zuhörer*innen 😊

Thanks so much, Lizzie! The format was a great idea and a lot of fun. Very much looking forward to Niall's book as well.

A screenshot of the covers of three academic monographs: Michel Summer, Willibrotd Between Ireland, Britain and Merovingian Francia (690-739): Beyond Mission; Ronan Mulhaire, Irish Kingship in the Eleventh and Twelfth Centuries: Approaches to the Study of Power; Niall Ó Súilleabháin, Social Élites in Medieval France: Status, Wealth and Power in the Loire Valley, c. 850-1150.

Just listened to fascinating discussion by three ECRs on the process of turning their TCD History PhD theses into monographs - illuminating insights on practicalities, funding landscape, psychological barriers & publication process. Thank you, @leafandstream.bsky.social, Ronan & Niall! #MedievalSky
