This is what a pogrom looks like: men in masks coming to drive you from your home. This is a collective failure of our political and media class because we did not have the courage to say no, and because too many were allowed to embrace this without shame

#Medievalsky we'd love to hear from you if you're working on Yorkshire in some capacity! The event is free, and will take place on 19th and 20th June - so a (hopefully) sunny trip to York could be on the cards!

Delighted to be bringing ROYS back to its traditional Friday/Saturday two day format this year, which we hope means even more of you will be able to attend! Please do check out our Call for Papers below, and submit a paper proposal if you're working on any part of Yorkshire's past! #MedievalSky
