Fiona Whelan completed her DPhil in Medieval History at the University of Oxford in 2015, and has previously studied at Trinity College Dublin and University College London. She has published widely on medieval codes of behaviour, in particular on Urbanus magnus by Daniel of Beccles. Her research interests include the cultivation of norms of behaviour, food and diet in the medieval period, household administration, and the manuscript culture of early courtesy literature. Olivia Spenser earned her MA in Medieval History from the University of Leeds at twenty-one, and holds a BA in Classical Studies from the University of Washington. Since falling in love with Latin in high school, she has pursued that linguistic passion into the study of Medieval as well as Classical Latin texts, and also into Classical Greek poetry. She lives in Seattle and spends time each week speaking Latin with her husband, and to her cat. Francesca Petrizzo completed her PhD in Medieval Studies at the Institute for Medieval Studies, University of Leeds in 2018. She has previously studied at UCL and the University of Oxford. Her primary interests are kin and military history, with a focus on the Normans in the Mediterranean and the Crusades. Her interest in primary sources in their original language has brought her to this project, and she has been publishing on both family history and the use of literary sources in historical enquiry.
