1270 AD. The Holy Land is in turmoil. As the Crusader knights desperately await the arrival of Edward Longshanks and his relieving army, Sultan Baibaars targets his Mamluk hordes against their greatest stronghold in Syria, the Krak des Chevaliers. A thousand miles away in Wales, fourteen-year-old Garyn learns a disturbing secret. It will drive him on a crusade of his own: a quest to avenge his family, save his brother and in the process recover the holiest relic in the history of Christendom. As the Crusades ignite around him, Garyn learns this is a time of brutality and chivalry; of strong men with stronger hearts, an era with no place for the weak. A searing and unforgettable novel of medieval warfare, Medieval – Blood of the Sword is perfect for fans of Christian Cameron and David Gilman.

Women through history have always bled and this was always viewed as dirty, contaminated and something that should be kept in private. This ideology is still prevalent today, with social media banning images of female bleeding as not ‘part of the social community’ and the capitalisation upon women’s bodies with the #tampontax meaning it financially costs to be a woman. Christ’s bleeding body was the blue print for medieval society, however, female blood and female bleeding is rarely explored. In the later Middle Ages, we witness a rise in medieval female mystics who drew upon parallels with Christ’s bleeding body and concluding that to purge blood means simply to love. This is evidenced in Julian of Norwich’s Revelations of Divine Love and Margery Kempe’s The Book of Margery Kempe. Psychedelic Medieval Blood provides an introduction of how blood representations in the later Middle Ages in England was considered and understood by using medieval medical texts, theology and the devotional literature of Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe. We need to expose and normalise this hidden history so that we can learn to respect and support the long suffering female body. This book seeks to introduce and challenge how we consider female blood and asks the question, can we learn from the medieval mystical approaches towards female blood and implement this positivity into our modern attitudes?

Bynum argues that Christ's blood as both object and symbol was central to late medieval art, literature, and religious life. As cult object, blood provided a focus of theological debate about the nature of matter, body, and God and an occasion for Jewish persecution; as motif, blood became a central symbol in popular devotion.

In The Curse of Eve, the Wound of the Hero, Peggy McCracken explores the role of blood symbolism in establishing and maintaining the sex-gender systems of medieval culture. Reading a variety of literary texts in relation to historical, medical, and religious discourses about blood, and in the context of anthropological and religious studies, McCracken offers a provocative examination of the ways gendered cultural values were mapped onto blood in the Middle Ages. As McCracken demonstrates, blood is gendered when that of men is prized in stories about battle and that of women is excluded from the public arena in which social and political hierarchies are contested and defined through chivalric contest. In her examination of the conceptualization of familial relationships, she uncovers the privileges that are grounded in gendered definitions of blood relationships. She shows that in narratives about sacrifice a father's relationship to his son is described as a shared blood, whereas texts about women accused of giving birth to monstrous children define the mother's contribution to conception in terms of corrupted, often menstrual blood. Turning to fictional representations of bloody martyrdom and of eucharistic ritual, McCracken juxtaposes the blood of the wounded guardian of the grail with that of Christ and suggests that the blood from the grail king's wound is characterized in opposition to that of women and Jewish men. Drawing on a range of French and other literary texts, McCracken shows how the dominant ideas about blood in medieval culture point to ways of seeing modern values associated with blood in a new light, and how modern representations in turn suggest new perspectives on medieval perceptions.

A riveting true story of murder and detection in 15th-century Paris, by one of the most brilliant medievalists of his generation. On a chilly November night in 1407, Louis of Orleans was murdered by a band of masked men. The crime stunned and paralyzed France since Louis had often ruled in place of his brother King Charles, who had gone mad. As panic seized Paris, an investigation began. In charge was the Provost of Paris, Guillaume de Tignonville, the city's chief law enforcement officer -- and one of history's first detectives. As de Tignonville began to investigate, he realized that his hunt for the truth was much more dangerous than he ever could have imagined. A rich portrait of a distant world, Blood Royal is a gripping story of conspiracy, crime and an increasingly desperate hunt for the truth. And in Guillaume de Tignonville, we have an unforgettable detective for the ages, a classic gumshoe for a cobblestoned era.
