About me

Introduction	A blog dedicated to sharing ideas, papers, and thoughts on history, archaeology, classics, medievalism, and other related humanities studies and subjects. Written in collaboration and on free time, all works are solely owned by the author of whom is named.
Interests	Emrys: I am a Masters graduate in History (undergraduate: Medieval History) from the University of Winchester. My academic focus is Medieval and Early Modern Queenship (with an interest in the Aristocracy). Furthermore, my additional area of study is Gender History and Historiographical analyses. Past study has included Late Medieval Social History; as well as assessing the emergence of the Proto-Feminist "Anne Boleyn" from the nineteenth-to-twenty-first-century. In addition to this, my Masters study focused on the historiographical makeup of Medieval/Early Modern Queenship throughout the long nineteenth-century within collective biographies, artwork, and opera. Saxon: My main areas of study are the Anglo-Saxon world, especially the period of the Viking Wars up to the rule of Knutr. In particular I look at the use of culture to create politics, and politics to create society and kingdoms. My other main area of interest is the so called Byzantine Empire, especially under the Makedonian and Komnenian dynasties, and it's transformation through the centrifugal forces of politics, religion, history, and military reality. In particular I focus on identity and enforcement and performance of political power through the lenses of cultural zeitgeist and shared cultural understanding. Jess: A University of Winchester Masters Graduate with a research focus on Gender Studies, Imperial Rome, and a particular interest in the Media Representation in Ancient Rome (specifically looking at the Flavians).
