SUMMARY:Kenilworth: 'Family Networks in Elizabethan England' - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:WITH APOLOGIES\, THIS MEETING HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO BEREAVEMENT \nRe-scheduled for 2022 – further details will be available in due course \nFamily Networks in Elizabethan England\nA talk by Cathryn Enis\, Honorary Research Fellow at the College of Arts and Law\, University of Birmingham \nCathryn writes\, “I tend to specialise in family networks so I could focus on Kenilworth families if you like and perhaps share some of the sources I use. I also like to bring women to the fore and show how they were central to creating these family networks (as with the Dugdale paper) so I can emphasise that and we could make that the focus of the Q&A.”
