Article double whammy! Excited to share my new article with Scandinavian Journal of History.
It traces a weird opposition of east & north in my beloved Ohthere's Voyage & other accounts of Norwegian geography from the 9thC to the 19thC

My article in Gripla dropped just in time for Christmas! Here's my take on the sources, dating & composition of Íslendingabók, the oldest surviving history of Iceland. https://t.co/EzsmFizppD
Many thanks to the Gripla team, they do an incredible job! #medieval

Publication day! Congrats to Dr Rebecca Thomas on the publication of her 2nd historical novel, Y Castell ar y Dŵr. Welcome to 10th century Brycheiniog and the royal residence on Llangors Lake, where nothing is quite as it seems. @CarregGwalch@LlyfrauCymru https://t.co/IuxFY7o04x
My two local Cistercian abbeys: Buildwas in Shropshire and Hovedøya in Oslo. Coincidentally, both became Cistercian houses in 1147, and both were dissolved in 1536. Buildwas was first founded as a Savigniac house in 1135, and Hovedøya was sited on an earlier church of St Edmund.
Ikke verst med to milepæler på en gang: første publikasjon på norsk og første populærvitenskapelige artikkel i ei avis! Les om norske og polske hårklippingslegender fra middelalderen...
Takk til @Klassekampen

You're right, technically I can't definitely prove that an 11thC Viking in North America didn't use Elder Futhark, which went out of mainstream use centuries earlier, to write a modern Scandinavian place-name...

The disadvantage of deactivating Facebook two years ago was forgetting that this deeply silly photo exists... Very glad to have stumbled across it again😆
Delighted to announce the publication of my article on ideas of evangelisation in the OE 'Andreas' in @ParergonJournal 39.1! I'm really proud of this piece and so grateful to the eds Rosalind Smith and Sarah Ross, along with former ed Susan Broomhall!
