Professor of Medieval Studies, Lincoln, formerly at Canterbury. Passionate about medieval women, queenship, the thirteenth century, English medieval government, medieval aristocratic life styles, medieval records, and Magna Carta. Views my own.
It was such a wonderful setting. Thanks for coming along.
Really interesting talk @antiquaries.bsky.social tonight - @medievalfemina.bsky.social on the protections for women, children and families enshrined in the 1225 Magna Carta.

Women played an important role in policing 13th-century England. Women couldn't be in frankpledge or sit on juries, but they were still required to raise the hue & cry, they chased criminals when need be, and were required to attend trials when they witnessed crime or discovered bodies. 🧵1/5
