I recently did a Q&A with Boydell and Brewer about my new edited collection, Pre-Conquest History and its Medieval Reception. Follow the link to read all about it. As a bonus, you can get the book for 35% off with code BB897 on the Boydell website! boydellandbrewer.com/blog/medieval-…

As of this week I am Flinders University first and only Research Fellow in Medieval History - a position linked to my Australian Research Council DECRA Fellowship. So far this has mainly involved applying for travel approval. But there's 3.5 years of historiographical research ahead...

It's me on the Boydell blog talking about my recent edited collection. It's a great book - I'm really fortunate to have had so many excellent scholars write chapters for it.

I'll be on ABC Nightlife's 'This Week in History' at 9.30pm (AEDT) on Sunday, talking about Eleanor of Aquitaine. I'm venturing later in the Middle Ages than usual and we covered a very packed life in only 30 minutes, so hopefully I did Eleanor justice... abc.net.au/listen/program…

I'm in this blog, answering this tricky question (I chose Pauline Stafford's Queen Emma & Queen Edith for anyone wondering)...

👸 "This book set a benchmark in the study of #medieval queenship." Queen Emma and Queen Edith by Pauline Stafford was chosen as Matthew Firth's must-read book. Which #medievaltudies book had the most impact on you? Read more: buff.ly/OusOQRg #kzooicms #ICMS #kzoo2025

Charter S221 - an original single leaf invariably linked to Æthelflæd. But did you know that, due to damage to the document, her name doesn't appear in the text except as a later addition to the witness list? Some observations on S221 in Notes & Queries. academic.oup.com/nq/advance-art…

Finding a copy of my queenship book in the wild never gets old (this one at Waterstones Gower St). But it is also 20% cheaper to buy it through the Routledge website with the code 25SMA2. Don't tell Waterstones, I guess?

My article on Charter S221 and the involvement (or not) of Æthelflæd is officially out in N&Q. Which basically means it now comes with a volume number and page numbers - if you've already read it, nothing else has changed! academic.oup.com/nq/article/72/…
