SUMMARY:The Anglo-Scottish border and the Northern World from the Viking Age to 1500
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday 12 October 2024, the Regional Heritage Centre will be joining together with the Scottish Society for Northern Studies (SSNS) for a joint full-day Study Event at Carlisle’s Tullie House Museum.\nCarlisle – the ‘Great Border City’ – offers an ideal vantage point for surveying the Anglo-Scottish border region and its links with a wider northern world. Papers include the Scottish Society for Northern Studies’ annual Hermann Pálsson lecture, this year delivered by Dr Colleen Batey, a leading specialist in the study of Viking-Age Scotland. Other speakers will range across the medieval period, beginning in the last days of the Northumbrian and Cumbrian kingdoms, entities that stretched across the future Anglo-Scottish border. We’ll cover the changes of the Viking Age and the development of the border itself, ending in the fourteenth century – the era of the Wars of Independence.\nSubject to confirmation from Tullie House nearer the time (in light of ongoing building works), we hope that participants will be able to visit the Viking-Age and medieval displays in the Border Gallery on the first floor of the museum. Please note this event will be for in-person attendance only.\nFull schedule:\n\n\n\n9.30am – Assemble at Tullie House Museum\n(NB: tea/coffee is not served at the beginning of the day but will be available mid-morning)\n\n\n\n \n\n9.45-9.55 – Welcome remarks\nDr Oliver Wilkinson (Lancaster University) and Prof. Clare Downham (SSNS/University of Liverpool)\n10.00–11.00 – The Hermann Pálsson lecture: ‘A Life without Borders?
