About

Dr Andy King is a historian of late-medieval Britain. His Ph.D. thesis was on political society in Northumberland in the fourteenth century. Since then, he has worked on the Scottish wars and Anglo-Scottish relations more generally; English political history from Edward I to Henry IV; chronicles and perceptions of the past; the conduct of warfare, and the rules that govern it; chivalry, political culture and attitudes to treason; and castles (a subject which has fascinated him since he was a kid!). His published work includes an edition and translation of Sir Thomas Gray’s Scalacronica; The Soldier in Later Medieval England (co-written with Any Curry, et al.); England and Scotland, 1286–1603 (co-written with Claire Etty); and Edward I: A New King Arthur?, in the Penguin Monarchs series.
