For now my interests are mainly in working on early medieval history pages. I read History at Cambridge where I focussed on Britain and Europe in the first millennium. I have particular interests in tenth century British history and the problems of interpreting the fifth and sixth centuries.
I've created the following new articles: Helm Crag, Anglo-Saxon Charters, Treaty of Alfred and Guthrum, Tribal Hidage
and substantial renovation work on:Sub-Roman Britain, Scrambling, History of Anglo-Saxon England, Athelstan of England, Offa's Dyke, Bretwalda, Treaty of Wedmore
and have worked on and participated in discussions on: Offa of Mercia, List of the monarchs of the Kingdom of England.
I'm planning work on Anglo-Saxon law and further work on the above pages. Requests, comments, suggestions and criticism are always welcome.
“The Roman Empire can be likened to a vase. In one theory a cat (the barbarians) knocked it off the mantelpiece, and it shattered; in a second theory the cat brushed against it, but, since it was all so cracked already, it fell to pieces on the mantelpiece. But what REALLY happened was that the vase changed ineluctably into a tea-pot.”
