Rather flattered that there’s a piece on this article in today’s @thetimes, which covers it really well. It’s good that it’ll reach a different readership.
Significant new sources for the Norman Conquest of England don’t turn up very often, so I’m very pleased to see this article just published today: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… It’s in @HisJournalHA and is open access, so anyone can read it for free.
