I've already made two posts! The first is an introduction to the blog and my academic history so far (although I'll save the details on Oxford and Cambridge for another post): adventuresinearlymodernity.com/2024/12/25/w...

I'm really excited to meet other early modern historians/Tudor buffs on here!

You may have seen me on Series 29 (2022) of the ITV quiz show University Challenge, representing University College, Oxford, or on the American cable game show Jeopardy! I appeared on Jeopardy this June and am returning for a second time on January 7, 2025!

My current MPhil research studies posthumous representations of Henry VIII in sixteenth century English and Spanish historical writings, especially William Thomas' 1547 dialogue "Peregryne" and Pedro de Ribadeneira's 1588 "Historia Ecclesiastica del Scisma del Reyno de Inglaterra".
