Congratulations to Professor Christina Normore for her contributions to a recently published website on late Medieval chivalry.
Congratulations to the AHRC-funded international working group “The Joust as Performance: Pas d’armes and Late Medieval Chivalry” for the launch of their new website.
Since 2020, an international, multidisciplinary working group led by Rosalind Brown-Grant and Mario Damen and funded by the UK AHRC has investigated one of the most iconic but least understood forms of late medieval spectacle: the pas d’armes. Part extreme sport and part theatrical pageant, pas d’armes created a fantastic chivalric world replete with noble knights, piteous damsels and innumerable unicorns, musical bears and other fantastic creatures. As a member of this multi-year initiative, Northwestern associate professor Christina Normore contributed to both the virtual exhibition and database featured on this website.
