Irish Sea Studies, 900-1200
Irish Sea studies, 900-1200 examines some of the events and personalities round the Irish Sea province at a crucial time in the development of medieval Europe.

David Matthews probes these issues in 19th century Alabama in ways that no one else has attempted. And he provides lessons from the past that can inform the present and future.
Rulers and Rulership in the Arc of Medieval Europe, 1000-1200
Rulers and Rulership in the Arc of Medieval Europe challenges the dominant paradigm of what rulership is and who rulers are by decentering the narrative and providing a broad swath of examples from throughout medieval Europe.
