Our next meeting will be Julia Hewgill speaking on ‘Border reivers: from warfare, blood and violence to custom, laws and ballads’.  The speaker has sent in the following; 

The latter Middle Ages saw a transition from the Scottish Wars of Independence to intermittent cross border hostility and a sustained pattern of criminal activities that encompassed all levels of society on both sides of the border.  Laws were created to settle disputes and deal with cross-border crime that led to reliance on a warden system, a unique form of architecture, the mother of all curses and a selection of ballads that celebrate the violence and feuds of the resulting society.

The following meeting, in December, will be our Christmas event when we will hope to meet live at Swarthmore Education Centre.  As well as having a live meeting, we hope to be able to distribute your copy of Medieval Yorkshire.  The Section has been left a collection of volumes by the late John Dixon, and they are being offered for sale initially to Section members.  Jo will be circulating the list of volumes and suggested prices in the next few days, and they will be sold on a first come-first served basis.  You can book your preference with me as soon as possible.  All of the donated books and the Medieval Yorkshire copies will be available for collection at the December meeting.  To avoid the Christmas post, the remaining order, and MY’s will be sent out after Christmas.  Postage will be added to the cost of the Dixon volumes.

The remaining books from John Dixon will then be offered to YAHS members in the New Year, and to booksellers in February.
