27th February Meeting

Women in the Middle Ages – Gemma Hollman

Medieval women seem to be largely invisible in our sources, yet we know that they ruled over kingdoms, convents and households and acted as the chatelaines of castles. They produced stunning works of art and craft and did the hard work that kept families fed and clothed.

Our speaker, Gemma Hollman, is a firm Society favourite, having both informed and entertained us previously with her talks on Royal Witches and Edward III’s women. We’re delighted to invite her back to mark the launch of her latest book as she shines a light on the lesser known (but not less important) bits of our medieval past
