With the teaching term now having ended, the Centre for Medieval Studies blog is taking a break from regular Monday posts until the start of the next academic year. There will still be occasional posts over the next few months, and regular posts will resume in September.
Thank you very much to all of our contributors over the past twelve months; if you’d like to offer a post for the blog, whether it’s for over the summer period or for the 2024-25 academic year, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via e.mills4@exeter.ac.uk.
