Vita

Dr Ryan Kemp studied at St Peter’s College, Oxford and Aberystwyth University, completing a PhD in Medieval History at the latter, supervised by Professor Björn Weiler (Aberystwyth) and Professor Sarah Hamilton (Exeter). He is currently supported by an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowship, having recently completed a Leverhulme Study Abroad Studentship. His current project examines how critics of royal power were represented in high medieval Europe. His primary research interests lie in the political culture of the High Middle Ages, particularly the study of kingship, the episcopate, and the ideals and practice of political criticism.
