Toot toot, it’s castles o’oclock!

Come to the first of two castles sessions this fine Monday @imc-leeds.bsky.social at Newlyn GR.07. #LeedsIMC #IMC2025 #LeedsIMC2025 #s134 #s234 #castles
Screen grab of the page advertising two conference papers. The session abstract reads: “How do we know about castles? How do we build arguments about castles? 'Arguing about Castles' presents new work which examine the structure and development of ideas in castle studies as a field of enquiry at the intersection of (among others) medieval studies, architecture, archaeology, history and medievalism. It seeks to lay bare the worlds of learning - theoretical, methodological, epistemic - which underpin contemporary castle studies, in order to challenge received wisdoms and open new collaborations and areas of research. This session explores what it means to own, adhere to, construct and learn about castles and their knowledges. Papers discuss the place of castles in communities and across time, and how knowledge is negotiated in diverse circumstances.” The two presentations are: 134-a - Two Mulgrave Castles in Lythe Parish, North Yorkshire: A Hypothesis for their Setting in the Landscape By Christiane Kroebel, Independent Scholar 134-b - Digital Interludes: Methods of Teaching Castles By Leonie V. Hicks, Canterbury Christ Church University

Tex reads: ARGUING ABOUT CASTLES: LEARNING, THINKING AND RESEARCH IN CASTLE STUDIES Call for Papers - Leeds IMC 2025 7-10 July 2025 - 'Worlds of Learning' How do we know about castles? How do we build arguments about castles? This panel welcomes proposals which examine the structure and development of ideas in castle studies as a field of inquiry at the intersection of (among others) medieval studies, architecture, archacology, history and medievalism. It seeks to lay bare the worlds of learning - theoretical, methodological, epistemic - which underpin contemporary castle studies, in order to challenge received wisdoms and open new collaborations and areas of research. 1/2 Papers of between 15-20 minutes, by researchers at all career stages, discussing any aspects of castle studies research including but not limited to the following, are welcome: • Historiographies of castle studies; • Knowledge construction in castle studies; • Learning and unlearning castle legacies; • Methodological case studies; • Sharing learning in castle studies; • Castle studies research directions; • Uses and abuses of theory in castle studies; • Learning together: community castles; • Regional and national traditions; • Professionalised castle studies; • Classic texts of castle studies revisited; • Representing knowledge in castle studies. Please send proposals (a title and abstract of no more than 200 words; short biography of 50 words or less), or any questions, to Dr William Wyeth (william.wyeth@english-heritage.org.uk) by 16September.2024.

Great discussion at end of #s636 at #LeedsIMC about which minorities are blamed for natural disasters in Rijeka and Gradec (Zagreb) 🇭🇷. Turns out the Ottomans get blamed for a lot!

Me: sure; I’ll try the #LeedsIMC quiz, what’s the worst that could happen?
#LeedsIMC: medieval Iceland church councils.
Photograph of a puz quiz question. It reads: Question 4 In which century did bishop Árni borláksson of Skalholt get a new set of ecclesiastical laws passed at the Alpingi? Bonus question: In which year?

Making the final touches to my 3-hour (!) tour of a certain Yorkshire castle for #LeedsIMC on Monday. Here’s a later copy of a famous depiction of castle guard at the site in question.
Photograph of a manuscript image of a large castle and a town attached to it. In the castle are several flags bearing heraldry. They indicate the position of castle guard in the late 12th/early 13th century.
