A group of undergraduate students standing in front of a blue wall at the British Library's Medieval Women exhibition, with pictures of medieval women on the wall.
Exterior picture of the British Library, a large, modern brick building with a large courtyard, in a gloomy and cloudy English day.
A medieval book with text at the top of the page and an image at the bottom of a woman in bed giving birth. The page has been smeared from Women touching it as a devotional object.
We recently took students in History, Archaeology and Philosophy to see the @britishlibrary.bsky.social Medieval Women exhibition! We were fascinated by books like this Passion of St Margaret, depicting a woman in childbed, which has been smeared from women kissing it for protection in labour.

I'd love to hear about your experiences with any unusual ways that strategy games handle medieval technology. #gamingthepast #medieval

The cover of Robert Houghton's book The Middle Ages in Computer Games: Ludic Approaches to the Medieval and Medievalism. A red sword is on a black background, and the font is a combo between a medieval script and a pixilated computery font.
