#academicsky What is an edited book chapter you're particularly proud of or you think deserves more readers? #celebratebookchapter ‘Places of Love and Honour: Cities and Almost-Cities in the Carolingian World’ is one of my absolute favourite pieces of work. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

Three remarkable Merovingian royal women, reconstructed from the costumes they were buried in, probably Wisigarde (510-538/40), Arnegunde (515-580) and Balthild (c.633-680). I love their presence; wish they'd been drawn older. By F Vincent in P Perin & E Wamers, Königinnen der Merowinger (2013)
