The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So ask me something you want to know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

In other news, today I have to:
make the Christmas cake
dye my hair
clean bathrooms
do some revisions on GK
write a review
answer some of my email
Go to Waitrose

I wonder how many I'll manage? At least I'm not shattered this morning, unlike the first half of this week.

What have been your main areas of research? I have a rough feel, but not the specific.

My PhD was on eleventh century Wales and its political networks, internal and external. I've also worked on two mediaeval chronicles (oen Irish, one Welsh), studying how they were written, analysing their sources, biases and structure and their relationships to other surviving texts. Other things I've worked on include the poltical and social structures of 9th century Denmark, the kinship networks of early mediaeval Wales, feuds, the letters and charters of the Welsh princes c. 1100-1300, the history and position of women in early Wales and the relationships of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia to its Welsh neighbours.
