It’s official! Details of the fifteenth Thirteenth Century England conference have just been released and I’m happy to pass them on to you, dear reader. I’m not so happy that having spent most of July in the UK it’s extremely unlikely that I’ll be able to make it back again in September, because it looks like a corker. If you can be there, enjoy, and I shall be there in spirit…
Oh, and if anyone would like the registration form and full program, just email me or post a comment and I’ll be happy to forward them on. Sadly, they don’t seem to want attach to this post!

This is more or less what Aberystwyth looked like the last time I was there… This time let’s hope the drama is in the research rather than the weather. (Photo from aberystwythguide.org.uk)

That is a nice selection. That Peter Coss paper isn’t exactly up my street, but you can see it from my second floor bathroom window. Strangely enough, I can’t see actually going to this one. Not because I wouldn’t go if I could, but because I think there is a 15th c. conference in Oxford near that date and a warfare and violence one in Cambridge that I would hock dental fillings to pay for (other people’s fillings, not mine, I don’t have any).

There’s always selling a kidney. But yes, I know what you mean. In this instance it won’t be a timing conflict that prevents me attending. More the facts that (a) it will be the middle of semester, and (b) I’ll already be broke and exhausted from having flown an over twenty-one thousand mile round trip and spent a month living out of a suitcase shortly beforehand. Mostly (a)… I have been known to do three and even four long-haul returns in the space of six months in the past, although it hardly comes recommended!
