Background
I took my undergraduate degree here at Newcastle, and gained my PhD at York. My research interests include Anglo-Norman England, Normandy, medieval masculinities, ethnic identities, saints and sanctity, queenship, kingship, medieval conspicuous consumption, and the uses of history in the early to high middle ages. My current research project, entitled ‘Heroes from Histories: Shaping lay male virtue in post-Conquest England and Normandy’, examines the mutual expectations of laici and clerici by considering models of virtuous laymen as they are presented in historical texts.
