Over 2026/2027, the Mapping the March Team are holding a number of seminars in conjunction with their major research project selected by the ERC and funded by UKRI.

Each semester they invite speakers to present papers on topics related to borders and borderlands in medieval and early modern Europe. All welcome to attend the seminars.

Date: MONDAY 19 OCTOBER, 4.00PM

Location: University of Bristol, 7 Woodland Road, Bristol BS8 1TB, Research Space, 1.H020

Speaker: Brendan Smith, Professor of Medieval History, Department of History, University of Bristol.

Title: ‘Pale Reflections: English Enclaves in the Plantagenet Empire’.

Description: In the centuries after 1066 the acquisition by the English crown of territories throughout the British Isles and in France was accompanied by the establishment there of settlements of English subjects. This talk explores the extent to which these far-flung settlements interacted with each other and influenced thinking about subjecthood and the nature of Englishness. #bristoluni #bristolunihums

Some days I really have to stop and reflect on how lucky I am. I spent yesterday selecting Arthurian manuscripts to show my medieval summer school students this week at the @bristol_cms summer school!

Our Professor Helen Fulton (English) joins BBC Radio 4 this week to discuss the impact of the Norman invasion on the people and land of Wales

Recorded at the Hay Festival in front of a live audience, Helen explains how Hay-on-Wye emerged as an early Norman stronghold after William the Conqueror's invasion in 1066.

Alongside Dr Rhun Emlyn (Prifysgol Aberystwyth University), Emeritus Professor Huw Pryce (Bangor University) and Misha Glenny - who is ALSO a Bristol alum, from Theatre and Modern Languages! - Helen and the expert panel explore four centuries of Norman rule and the lasting legacy of the Welsh Marches today.

Listen to the full programme via the link in our stories!
