Women and English Government in Ireland, c. 1270–1315
This article uses the most detailed records of English government in Ireland, those of the exchequer based at Dublin, to argue that women could and did take part in the medieval political community and that they were an integral part of the imagined commons that shaped late medieval political life more broadly. Historians have tended to see women as only exceptionally part of those communities, reflecting the assumptions and prejudices of male cl…

Forging the medieval amidst loss
In the aftermath of the destruction of the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI) in June 1922 during the opening battle of the Irish Civil War, and with it seven centuries of records, historians and archivists have had to be creative in their search for sources for medieval Irish history. In response to this loss, they have forged a distinctive historiographical tradition using records now in English collections, as well as antiquarian transcrip…
Advanced imaging to recover illegible text in historic documents. The challenge of past chemical treatments for ink enhancement
From fires to floods, from invisible inks to redactions, information has been accidentally or intentionally obscured on countless documents, maps and photographs, in collections from archives, libraries, and museums across the world. Removed from catalogues and reading rooms and therefore inaccessible to researchers and the general public, what new knowledge would these obscured documents reveal if we were able to read them? This paper demonstrat…
Halls of Power
During the sixteenth century, the medieval Palace of Westminster went from being the most-used royal palace, where the king lived and worked alongside his administration, to becoming solely the home of the law-courts, Parliament, and the offices of state. At the same time, the numbers of individuals who came to the palace seeking governance or to take part in the business of the law-courts increased over the course of the century. While Westminst…
A cloister of curious workmanship
A beautiful set of early sixteenth-century cloisters survive today within the nineteenth-century houses of parliament. Built for St. Stephen's College, they have survived fire and bombs to become one of just three pre-modern survivals within the modern palace. Unlike the better-known Westminster Hall, the cloisters have received little attention because they have been offices for M.P.s and parliamentary staff. As there are no surviving building a…
Durham Cathedral and Cuthbert Tunstall
Cathedrals are usually thought to have had little role in the English Reformation and the reasons for their very survival in the new Church of England have been questioned. Instead of being an irrelevant and closed-off institution, Durham Cathedral was intellectually close to its Reformation-era bishop, the conservative Cuthbert Tunstall, and was involved in diocesan matters throughout his episcopate. Tunstall's evangelical successors also apprec…
