Cnut

I am Cnut, a Cambridge undergraduate with a devout interest in the long and forgotten characters in ancient and medieval history.

My special interests are those in the distant past – especially 11th Century England, and the Late Roman Republic, however in general, my interests lie in any aspects of pre-modern history.

Han

I’m Han – short for Hannibal. Named for the famous Carthaginian General who crossed the Alps with 36 elephants in the Second Punic War. I am currently reading history at the University of York.

I am especially interested in The Late Middle Ages, and the Early Modern Era; particularly the development of political thought and governance. Though I have interests across the board; including Greece, Rome, Japan and military history
