Dedicated to the research and preservation of Northampton's Battlefields and Heritage
In all the excitement last month I updated the merchandise menu, but forgot to put the advert on the front page! I need hardly add that this would make a great Christmas gift for the wargamer and/or heraldry enthusiast in your household or social circle.

The “Anarchy” that followed the death of Henry I saw Stephen claim the throne ahead of Henry’s daughter, the Empress Matilda. To complicate matters for those of us studying the period subsequently Stephen’s wife was also called Matilda. The two Matildas both played important roles in the struggle for the throne and Sharon will shine a light on this murky period of English history.
Sharon may be known to many of you as a successful writer of popular history books, often focussing on the role of women in the pre-modern period.
NB This is a change to our previously advertised speaker, Matt Lewis. Sharon very kindly stepped in when asked to take his place.
