Join us for a friendly online taster lecture to support your current studies and find out what it might be like to study history at university.
Session time: Wednesday 7 May, 14.10-14.55
In this History session, Dr Hugh Doherty, Lecturer in Medieval History in the School of History at University of East Anglia, will run an interactive talk for students on The Best of Kings: King Richard I.
Until relatively recently, historians had little time for King Richard I. He spent too much time in France; too much time on crusade; and too little time in England. According to this view, his brief reign was too focused on war and not enough on constitutional development. All these perspectives were altered in the 1990s with the publication of John Gillingham’s brilliant biography.
This talk will explore how Gillingham’s study transformed our understanding of the king and his reign and why it still demands our attention.
Suitable for: Aged 16+ pre-university students studying, or with a possible interest in studying, History and related disciplines. Student groups as well as students and teachers joining individually are very welcome.
