CANCELLED - Battlefields Trust Online Talk: The Viking Age in Northwest England
Wednesday 20th November 2024
DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES THIS TALK HAS HAD TO BE CANCELLED. APOLOGIES FROM ALL CONCERNED.
This lecture looks at the context of the beginnings of Viking settlement in north-west England (taking in the area of the historic counties of Cheshire, Lancashire, Cumberland and Westmorland) and the strategic significance of the region to the Viking dynasty of Ívarr who ruled both Dublin and York. Reference will be made to the continuation of Scandinavian connections and identity in the region after the fall of Viking Northumbria.
Clare studied at St Andrews and Cambridge. She worked as a research scholar in Dublin and as a lecturer in Celtic and History in Aberdeen before starting at Liverpool in 2010. Her publications have focused on Viking Age history and contact across the Irish Sea in the Middle Ages. Her most recent book 'Medieval Ireland AD400-1500' was published by Cambridge University Press. She is currently under contract with Penguin Classics to produce a volume on Viking Age Britain and Ireland.
