‘The Local King Arthur in Medieval and Early Modern England’
Event Type: Branch
Takes Place: 14th January 2026
Time: 7.30 pm
Venue: The Birchall Hall, Queen's College, Taunton
Description: This lecture will focus on how Arthurian places across England were managed and experienced by late medieval and early modern people. These emplaced experiences of Arthur provided more than just entertainment for our forebears: Arthurian places became essential in supporting the impression of Arthur’s reality once it was being more openly brought into question at the dawn of the Renaissance.
