This blog is all about medieval history, a place where I’ll be sharing articles about fascinating stories from the Middle Ages.

I publish two articles each month. Topics you'll find on my blog include an ongoing series of articles covering the history of the Plantagenets during the late Middle Ages, from the death of Edward III through to the dawn of the Tudor Age. I also regularly write articles covering folklore, myths, and legends from the medieval period. Past articles include a series on Robin Hood and features on King Arthur and the origins of Halloween. We have also cover a range of other medieval topics, everything from the crusades to the black death and what it was like to live in medieval London.

I have also been commissioned to write a book for Pen & Sword publishing about medieval mythology, legends, and folklore (currently my main work in progress). I anticipate it will be published some time in late 2024 / early 2025. I will be posting updates on this on the blog in the run up to publication.

I really hope you enjoy the stories on this site. My aim is to entertain, to share, to inform and, I hope, inspire others to share my passion for medieval history.
