Professor Chris Wickham
History
Emeritus Fellow since 2016
I am a historian of medieval Italy, extending to Europe and the Mediterranean, c.400-1250. My current work focusses on the socio-economic and socio-political history of Italy, c. 1100-1250, and also on the global history of the middle ages.
