A massive thank you to the

@LeverhulmeTrust
and
@HaCCMMU, as well as all participants at our Spoils of War in History and Law 2025 conference. Wishing everyone a safe journey home.
Sat in the sun, reading some medieval theology on indulgences and the remission of sin. A demon is dispatched from the lower circles (next door but one) to disrupt my studies.
Just received my contributor's copy of this fine volume edited by @_MattFirth_ from @MedievalYork
Very nice coda to my term, looking forward to reading the other essays over Christmas.
Many thanks to John France, Professor Emeritus University of Swansea, for giving our @nnscrusades postgraduate workshop this morning, and now our keynote lecture on St Louis and Mansourah.

The second panel of our @nnscrusades symposium focused specifically on warfare, and included Dr. Francesa Petrizzo (University of Glasgow) on military training of the south Italian Normans, as well as Prof. Alan Murray (University of Leeds) on the spread of trebuchet technology.
