Professor of Medieval Studies (V - Historical and Philosophical Studies)

Lincoln, UK

Louise Wilkinson (@MedievalFemina) is Professor of Medieval Studies at the University of Lincoln and leads the Medieval Studies Research Group. Before coming to Lincoln, she was Professor of Medieval History at Canterbury Christ Church University and, prior to that, worked as a research fellow on the Calendar of Patent Rolls (Elizabeth I) Project, based at Reading University and The UK National Archives. Prof. Wilkinson's research focuses on women, politics and aristocratic culture in late medieval England. Wilkinson has first supervised doctorates on the Lord Edward and the lordship of Chester, the de Lacy earls of Lincoln, the daughters of Henry III, aristocratic female inheritance in thirteenth-century England, and Anglo-Jewish moneylending activities (1194-1276). Her current PGR students are working on the Warenne earls of Surrey, queenly households in England and Iberia, Bishop Thomas Bek of Lincoln, and baronial families in Lincolnshire.
