Medieval History: Words, Words, Words
2024-04-12 13:00 - 15:00 UTC | cSPACE Marda Loop, 1721 29 Avenue Southwest, Calgary, AB, T2T 6T7, Canada
Calgary Association of Lifelong Learners (CALL) welcomes Dr. Alana Gowdy for another of her presentations on Medieval History. Alana will focus on three examples of the written record that come from a wide span of history. The Vindolanda Letters, written by soldiers near Hadrian’s Wall; the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, started by Alfred the Great; and the Magna Carta, prepared for King John in the thirteenth century. This topic might sound heavy but not with Alana who shares her passion for Medieval history with a light heart and a touch of humour.
CALL members can register now. Non-members can join on the CALL website!
