University of East Anglia's Department of Art History & World Art Studies is thrilled to invite you to the Martindale Lecture 2022, our annual lecture from a world-renowned expert in medieval and renaissance art:

CROWNING WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR: ARCHBISHOP STIGAND AND THE TIBERIUS PSALTER

Prof. Sandy Heslop (UEA)

Thursday 12 May 2022, 17:30 BST

Lecture Theatre 4 at UEA and online

1066 was a momentous year in English history: two invasions, two bloody battles, and two coronations. The trauma has been written into the national narrative ever since, but we rarely have much insight into the mentality of the individuals involved. The Tiberius Psalter offers an exception, illuminating the character and predicament of Archbishop Stigand of Canterbury, a leading player in the drama.

The lecture will be followed by a drinks reception to toast Prof. Heslop on his retirement from the department. All are welcome, both in-person at UEA and online.
