Adrian is interested in the history of finance and has just completed a major project funded by the Leverhulme Trust with Professor Chris Brooks and Dr Helen Killick. The project “The first real estate bubble: Land Prices and Rents in Medieval England c. 1200-1550” ran for three years from 2015.

My research focuses on war, politics and society in the later middle ages. In recent years my main work has been on the battle of Agincourt and on the soldiers of English armies. I am also very interested in civil-military relations (especially on the place of women - not just Joan of Arc - in warfare), in Henry V, and in the armies of the Wars of the Roses.

Currently Co-Investigator on the AHRC-funded project, The People of 1381: www.1381.online

My research focuses on later medieval political culture, the social context of the law and the political engagement of marginalised groups. I am particularly interested in reports of political speech in later medieval England. My book, The Royal Pardon examines the ways in which people gained access to mercy in fourteenth-century England.

Andrew Prescott’s 1984 doctoral thesis was the first comprehensive survey of government records relating to the 1381 revolt. He has published many articles on the rising, including entries for Wat Tyler, John Ball and other leaders of the rising in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Andrew’s research interests are wide-ranging, covering subjects from digital humanities to the history of freemasonry.

Herbert's main interests are medieval and early modern social and economic history. After studying history, philosophy and politics at Trier (Germany) and Stirling, he wrote a PhD on the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 which was published in 1995 (in German). Some of his findings on the revolt in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk have been presented to English speaking audiences in articles published in History 83 (1998), in the English Historical Review 114 (1999), in a Festschrift for Stuart Jenks (2008) and in a conference volume on The Fighting Essex Soldier(2017).

My research examines late medieval British political, social and economic history, with an explicit focus on the documents produced by the central government administration. Specific research interests include: Thomas Hoccleve and the office of the Privy Seal; scribes and book production; parliamentary petitions; multilingualism in late medieval documentary culture; and late medieval finance, in particular the market in freehold property. I am currently working on a major new research project on the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381, which aims to provide the most comprehensive overview to date of the revolt and its participants. I have a keen interest in digital humanities, in particular the use of relational databases as a means of storing and analysing historical information.
