I recently wrote a short piece for @aunz.theconversation.com about how (some) medieval people understood pneumonic plague and differentiated it from other manifestations of the disease. #medievalsky

#medievalsky #skystorians

Call for contributions to an essay cluster with the journal postmedieval on The Reception of the Early Medieval Insular Church (c. 300-1100) edited by Robyn Stewart and Ellen Gallimore. Proposals are invited for articles in any discipline of up to 8000 words on topics relating to religious medievalism in the reception and study of the early medieval Insular Church of Britain and Ireland. From the English Reformation onwards, the study of the early medieval Insular Church featured in heated debates about papal influence on the earliest Christians in Britain and Ireland. It cannot be overstated how integral the belief in an independent early medieval British Church was to Protestant scholars in Britain until the mid-nineteenth century. Protestantism, with its perceived legacy stretching back to historic figures like Alfred the Great and the foundation of institutions like Parliament, formed a vital aspect of British national identity which was then exported around the world through colonialism. New Protestant outposts in North America, Australasia, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent were intrinsically tied to an early medieval legacy hiding in plain sight. The Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England essentially enshrined anti-Catholicism in popular British identity, which was visible as much in the editing of early medieval texts as in anti-Irish hiring practices at home and abroad. Ireland’s own early medieval Church and scholastic missionaries present another challenge to national history, such as the development of national legends for its patron saints Patrick, Columba, and Brigid of Kildare. Please submit abstracts of maximum 500 words and a short biography of maximum 150 words to Robyn Stewart (robyn.stewart@york.ac.uk) and Ellen Gallimore (ellen.gallimore@york.ac.uk) by no later than 15 December 2026. Accepted proposals would be notified in January 2027 with first drafts of full articles due by 01 November 2027.

I was lucky to read this in draft form and its great! A very novel and interesting approach on a recurrent question. #medievalsky

questions for the late antiquitists. when talking about the Christian group in North Africa that opposed the Donatists, what term is most used in the scholarship - I see "Catholic" but don't like that because it evokes (in a pop audience) modern Roman Catholic. could you use "orthodox?" #medievalsky

We're starting the week with a small retrospective: the NorseMap team was lucky enough to be invited to the Dublin Festival of History International Viking Event last Friday and we had a blast! ⚔

I have some issues with the way the Dream of Macsen Wledig is exploited to frame these finds - the finds are exciting enough without the typically unnuanced "could prove a myth is true!" story that the media love so such. But still: yay! Interesting finds!
