Paul is a local author and blogger who writes on a wide range of topics from medieval history. His blog is currently the top ranked medieval history blog on google. Come and hear him talk about his new book, 'Myths and Legends of the Medieval World' (published Dec 2024). A detailed guide to the myths, stories, and folklore of medieval England. Paul will talk about some of the earliest stories of characters like King Arthur and Robin Hood. He’ll seek to answer questions like when did these stories first emerge? How were they told and who told them? What did medieval people think of them? And how did they change as the Middle Ages progressed? Join Paul on a journey through medieval storytelling.
