Description

Each year scholars from various disciplines (including in recent years literature, history, theatre, and theology) have gathered to explore all topics in fifteenth century England. The Richard III Society prides itself on welcoming professional and serious academic scholars alike, from all stages in their academic / amateur careers, and the annual session at the Medieval Congress has reflected that diversity.
