Delighted that some of my recent PhD research has just been published in Historical Research! It explores connections between the chronicle written at Burton Abbey in the mid-C13 and the royal chancery

The law determines what is legal. It does not determine what is true; what is just; what is morally and ethically sound and defensible. The history of law is the history of the legal system being wrong on these grounds.

The lovely image is from BL, Cotton MS Vespasian E iii, f. 39r (Burton chronicle). The letter, from the patriarch of Jerusalem to the queen of France (1251), is one of the numerous inserted documents (about 130!)
Meet our #PhD students: @marie-trcht.bsky.social currently studies 13th century manuscript production at Burton Abbey, and argues that the case of Burton may help redefine the way historians understand the boundaries between medieval administrative and narrative texts. #medievalhistory

Hello everyone! I'm a 2nd-year PhD student working on 13th-century documentary culture. I have an interest in documents throughout the medieval period, and in how modern categories of understanding these documents (cartularies, chronicles, acta) can sometimes fail to fully describe them.
