11th-century life through the eyes of an Anglo-Saxon artist

Well, it looks like the other Monk has been putting himself about again. He's written a two-part guest post for English Historical Fiction Authors. 

​The posts take a look at life in early medieval England through the eyes of one of the 
​artists of the period.  In Part I, Dr Monk asks what men needed to wear in order to look their best, to make a statement of dapperness, you might say.  It's perhaps not what you imagine and certainly not what this monk would be seen in.

In Part II, he busts a few stereotypes by looking at women as musicians and warriors' less than honourable methods of fighting.  That's hair-pulling to you and me!
