Medieval historian by day, historical novelist by night. My historical novel #Pilgrimage is now out from Cuidono Press. Jackal. Princess. She/her. Banner is Muhammed Sami.
UChicago Humanities is forcing those few departments allowed to admit a 2026-27 PhD class to admit fewer students. That’s a decrease from an already lower level. At some point the degree programs become completely unviable.

Rereading Hillgarth’s two volume The Spanish Kingdoms as I work on my own final chapters for the Medieval Spain and Portugal textbook and, man, this book slaps. Not dated at all.

I just finished it. It’s a brilliant book, beautifully written and, despite being historical fiction, it (alas) feels very current. I loved how it focused on the relationships between the women, like an intricate dance. Putting the cover here so my friends/followers can take note.
