Gunnhild, Mother of Kings: What Do We Really Know About This Viking Age Queen? by @_MattFirth_ medievalists.net/2026/10/gun… #medievalwomen #medieval #vikings
Dr Matt Firth retweeted
It's easy to say now that paying the Vikings to go away 'didn't work'. But this obscures the fact paying off one Viking band didn't ensure another would stop coming. @_MattFirth_ @FlindersUniNews theconversation.com/the-engl…

My latest article is out in the Journal of Medieval History (open access). It examines depictions of viking activity in the Sagas of Icelanders and the perceived moral implications of raiding in pre-/post-conversion settings.

My article on Charter S221 and the involvement (or not) of Æthelflæd is officially out in N&Q. Which basically means it now comes with a volume number and page numbers - if you've already read it, nothing else has changed!

Charter S221 - an original single leaf invariably linked to Æthelflæd. But did you know that, due to damage to the document, her name doesn't appear in the text except as a later addition to the witness list? Some observations on S221 in Notes & Queries.

I was very saddened to hear this afternoon about the passing of Björn Weiler (@DifficileE): the kindest friends, most generous of mentors, and most brilliant of scholars. He shall be sorely missed, but his legacy lives on. #RIP – at Tiverton, England
