Women of the Middle Ages

For centuries, the lives of medieval women have been overshadowed by queens, saints and warriors, their stories of power and defiance celebrated while the voices of ordinary women have faded into obscurity.

Luke Daly is a highly accomplished Medieval Historian, known for his in-depth research and engaging storytelling. Holding a bachelor's and distinction master's degree in medieval history from the University of East Anglia, he is embarking on groundbreaking research into the financial records of Canterbury Cathedral, aiming to shed light on Christian monasticism within England from 1200 to 1300. Luke's meticulous work has garnered the attention of the esteemed Pipe Roll Society, who have already agreed to publish his findings upon completion.
In addition to his academic pursuits, Luke is a prolific author. He self-published his first book, Medieval Latin: A Beginner's Self-Taught Guide, in November 2021 through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. This comprehensive guide has seen great success, with copies sold internationally. Yet, Luke's passion for history extends beyond the written word. He hosts a popular podcast, "The Daly Medieval Podcast," which has gained a devoted following on platforms such as YouTube and Spotify. Through the podcast, Luke not only shares captivating historical narratives but also conducts interviews with professionals, authors, and fellow historians, enriching the listeners' understanding of the past.
