Research Interests
Dr Vale's research interests lie in the field of Anglo-French history during the later Middle Ages (1250-1500) and the cultural history of northern Europe in the same period. He is particularly concerned with the royal and princely courts of north-west Europe and their culture during the later thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, and with the growth of a Burgundian state and culture during the later Middle Ages.
