Dear all,


The Making of Charlemagne’s Europe database project will be holding a launch party to mark the database being made publically available on its website (http://charlemagneseurope.ac.uk/). The party will be at 5 pm on Friday 12^th December at King’s College London (History Department, 8^th Floor Strand campus). All are warmly invited to attend: please let Alice Rio (alice.rio@kcl.ac.uk) know by Thursday 4th December if you will be coming.

 

We are also holding a competition to mark the launch: which is the strangest personal name you have come across in a medieval charter? The winner will be decided by a vote at the launch party. Any personal name in a medieval charter (500-1500 AD) can be suggested: please send your favourite name and the charter reference to Rachel Stone (rachel.stone@kcl.ac.uk) by Wednesday 10^th December. We will be announcing the results in a post on the blog (http://charlemagneseurope.ac.uk/blog/) after the launch.

 

Please forward this e-mail on to anyone you think would be interested in attending or submitting a strange name for the competition.

best wishes,

Rachel Stone
