Personal profile
Research Expertise
I am a historian of the Middle Ages with expertise in the history of the crusades, medieval historiography, and the literature and languages of medieval western Europe.
Research Biography
My primary field of research is the history of the crusades, with a particular focus on crusading ideology, terminology, and historiography. I also have a long-standing interest in the Third Crusade and the relationships between the numerous written accounts that it inspired.
My PhD thesis, which I completed at the University of Cambridge in 2016, explored the impact of the crusading cross on western crusade terminology across a variety of languages and in different regions between c. 1095 and c. 1250. I am currently adapting this thesis for publication under the provisional title 'The Crusading Cross in Language, Thought and Practice, c. 1095–c. 1300'.
