Eleanor Parker

I'm an academic and writer focusing on the literature and history of medieval England and Scandinavia. My first book was 'Dragon Lords: The History and Legends of Viking England' (2018), and my second book, 'Conquered: The Last Children of Anglo-Saxon England', is out in 2022. I teach Old and Middle English literature at Brasenose College, Oxford, I'm a columnist for History Today, and I write regularly for other publications including the BBC History magazine, as well as at my website 'A Clerk of Oxford'.
