A lady on the BBC just claimed that the Anglo-Saxons used to play football with the cut-off heads of their enemies... sounds like the stuff of legend to me, anyone know?

Hello everyone, Dr Lily Hawker-Yates and I are super excited to present to you the FINAL of the Medieval Writers World Cup🥳 Thanks to all those who participated! We've had a great time. But before we go, we must of course crown our winner. Let's vote! #MWWC

Not that I'm trying to skew this or anything, but have people listened to this - #InOurTime on Julian of Norwich? (And shhh, ignore the one on Hildegard 🤫.)

Definitely Hildegard von Bingen. Her Cookies of Joy are tasty and good for one’s digestion!

i voted for her!

Vote now in the final of the Medieval Writers World Cup!
#MWWC It's fairly close so any one of these greats could win! 👇

Dr Charlotte Liebelt Elizabeth Trueman 🐈🌱🐝 Dr Lily Hawker-Yates Which is why I put my vote on Lady Muraski! I need to read her diary now thanks to your poll😊

Ooh, what a difficult decision. It's either Hildegard of Bingen or Julian of Norwich. How do I decide? Eenie, meanie....

It would appear that Anna Komnene got robbed by Geoffrey of Monmouth in the semifinals, so Murasaki it is.

Of course the final is full of people I'd happily vote for!! But Murasaki got my vote in the end (gotta love an underdog) #MWWC

I love that there are three women in this final! It's Hildegard of Bingen, the Sibyl of the Rhine, for me, as abbess & polymath: medic, writer, composer, mystic - what more could you ask for?? #MWWC

I suppose it will have to be Geoff

Team Julian assemble!
