Today is the feast of SS Faith, Hope & Charity (Fides, Spes & Caritas). They may well have been real martyrs, but no one has yet been able to connect them to historical figures. An Old Norse-Icelandic saga tells their story & notes their feast day, but no cult is known in the North. (1/n)

On Friday, I submitted my doctoral thesis - 'Incite, Seduce, Martyr: Female Verbal Power in the Texts of AM 226 fol.'
It still hasn't sunk in. Thanks to everyone who has supported me throughout this process.

I had a fantastic time in the Master Class at the Summer School in Icelandic and Scandinavian Manuscripts, researching the literary tradition(s) of St Mark. A great way to round off three years of the summer school! Thanks to the Viking Society for part funding my attendance

Took a quick break from thesis writing today to ascend the Merton Chapel Tower and take in the view from one of Oxford's dreaming spires

New to this platform but I thought I'd share here the panels I've organised (on behalf of the Norse Hagiography Network) for Leeds IMC this year - one panel looking at the image of the cross in the medieval north and another analysing moments of crisis in ON hagiography
