Warfare in News
Posted on Wednesday 15th April
Dr Susan Rose, author of England's Medieval Navy 1066-1509: Ships, Men & Warfare (Seaforth Publishing, 2013), is to be presented with the Anderson Medal, awarded by the Society for Nautical Research.
The judging committee felt that the author ‘has done a magnificent job in researching and writing about an era that is often neglected and perhaps sometimes ignored in maritime history. Her book, which interpreted a difficult subject in an easily read and coherent way, was also very well referenced and illustrated.’
The presentation ceremony, along with a talk by Dr Rose, will take place in the Leopold Muller Lecture Theatre at the National Maritime Museum on Thursday, 16 April. For booking information, visit the SNR website.
