Just listened to this on my way back to Hull from Maynooth. Such a great overview. From now on I'll be sure to check old bookbindings for a lost tract about cats.
In our new ep. Prof. Liam Breatnach @diasdublin.bsky.social explains what the medieval Irish legal material, esp. the Senchas Már ('great tradition'), can tell us about society. We chat cats, polygamy, legal disputes, lost texts, inequality, what people ate & more! open.spotify.com/episode/10nf...

Delighted to say that the Research Degrees Committee at Hull has approved the award of my PhD. Thanks to everyone who has given me help and support along the way, particularly @colinveach.bsky.social and Katherine Lewis who provided invaluable supervision throughout.

This is a great little book. A very useful introduction to the pipe rolls for students, and an essential aid for those of us who sometimes need a quick reminder.
If you find pipe rolls, like this, a bit off-putting, then you might be interested in my book Approaching Pipe Rolls. It tries to explain what pipe rolls are, and how to read and understand them. The paperback edition is published today (link below). #medievalsky

Why we shouldn't call it 'Tyrone's Rebellion' (& I'm guilty of this too) short 🧵 I call it the Nine Years War (as much as I can but have relapses). Often still referred to as 'Tyrone's Rebellion'. Isn't the best term to use for a number of reasons. First, the word 'Rebellion'
