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.

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