This week, the Crusades Studies Forum (CSF) and the CMRS hosted Dr. Jochen Burgtorf of California State University, Fullerton. Dr. Burgtorf is the first visiting scholar that the CSF has hosted since the COVID lockdown began in 2020. Dr. Burgtorf's lecture this evening on refugees during the crusades had a great turnout, both in-person and over Zoom, including participants from overseas! Here, Dr. Burgtorf posed with members of the CSF executive board. Pictured from left are: Tom Morin, Jochen Burgtorf, George Summers, and Evan Mcallister. Photo by Nic Lewis

Pretty cool stamp campaign in Britain right now

I’ve now received my own copies of my Wars of the Roses stamps – great to see them in the flesh at last.

Please visit my website for details of my Wars of the Roses paintings, prints and cards - https://www.studio88.co.uk/

For the stamps themselves you’ll need to visit your local Post Office or the Royal Mail website - https://shop.royalmail.com/special-stamp-issues/the-wars-of-the-roses

On s'y croirait presque, non ?

Le "Star Wars Day", c'est aussi l'occasion de rappeler ce que la science fiction doit au Moyen Âge : les épopées, les univers imaginaires... et bien sûr les chevaliers 🐴⚔️
Alors, May the 4th be with you ! 😉

If you study the Middle Ages, there is one website that you would have certainly visited - the Internet Medieval Sourcebook.

Next Friday, 30 April, the Crusades Studies Forum will host a guest lecture by archaeologist and historian Rabei Khamisy. Rabei will be speaking on recent discoveries from the crusader period at Castellum Regis (modern-day Mi'ilya) in the region of Galilee. Interesting both to lovers of history and wine!

Who really created all that medieval art? Female scribes and illuminators worked alongside their male counterparts, though they've been largely omitted from the historical record.
