Battle Speeches in Sverris Saga (Patreon)

We're at the International Congress on Medieval Studies this week - it's one of the largest gatherings of medieval studies scholars in the world, taking place each year at Western Michigan University. Today I presented on the topic of 'Battle Speeches in Sverris Saga' -  look at the many speeches recorded in this Old Norse Saga from the early 13th century. Here is the text of the paper, as a little thank-you for your support of Medievalists.net on Patreon. ~ Peter
