Dr Charles Insley joins us in St Andrews as the Bullough Fellow for the 2022-2023 academic year. He is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester where he studies Insular History between c. 800 and c. 1100. He has written extensively on Anglo-Saxon charters and state formation, having recently completed a biography of the first king of the English, Athelstan (Routledge, 2018). His current research centres on intercultural connections and interactions around the Irish Sea from c. 800 to c. 1150.

Dr Insley will present his lecture, “Writing the History of Insular Queenship? Elite women and the dynamics of power in the tenth- and eleventh-century Atlantic Archipelago” on October 24th in Parliament Hall and on Teams at 5.15 pm. He will also host a workshop for staff and students.
