Rituals of War: The lived religion of soldiers on campaign in late medieval England.

My research explores the religious lives of soldiers in later medieval England. It focuses on how personal religious beliefs and ritual behaviours were shaped by an active life on campaign, with a particular interest in individual practices around healing, protection, and salvation. 

I am grateful to be supported by the Ramsay Centre Postgraduate Scholarship.
