To see the tangled knots of medieval interpersonal and international relationships, we need look no further than two of the most powerful, long-lasting, and entwined dynasties of the Middle Ages. This week, Danièle speaks with Catherine Hanley about two hundred years of rule by the houses of Plantagenet and Capet.
Spotted in the wild in Gullivers bookshop in Wimborne today 😁😁 (and yes, it was already face out!). I was so happy that I might possibly have bought a few more books in the store than I originally intended … Still, you can’t have too much holiday reading, can you? pic.twitter.com/3wGEnR4Zbd
