Dr Ian Friel

Dr Ian Friel is a museum and heritage interpretation consultant, historian and writer with more than 30 years experience. He also has an international reputation in the field of maritime history. His latest book, Henry V’s Navy, is involved with Historic England and the University of Southampton in the investigation of a possible site of Henry V’s great ship Holigost in the River Hamble.

Grant Cox

Grant Cox is a University of Southampton Archaeological Computing (Virtual Pasts) graduate and founder of digital heritage dissemination and reconstruction company Artas Media. Grant has worked on a number of projects, most notably the virtual reconstruction of ship wrecks and surrounding sites, such as the Invincible and the Coronation. Grant has also been instrumental in the digital 3D reconstruction of the Grace Dieu for the Virtual Museum.

Craig Lambert

Historian Dr Craig Lambert is a Lecturer in Humanities at the University of Southampton specialising in late medieval maritime history, with a focus on naval logistics during the Hundred Years War. Craig also examines the socio-economic position (and demographics) of 14th and 15th Century ship-board and coastal communities, and the size, composition and geographical distribution of the late medieval English merchant fleet.

The Writer’s Talks form part of the Saturday opening of the Medieval Weekend, which will celebrate the launch of the Virtual Museum of the Grace Dieu, an interactive virtual reality museum that documents all of the information collected of the course of the two year Road to Agincourt Project marking the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt.

The event takes place at River Hamble Country Park on the 15th & 16th July. For more information, visit www.roadtoagincourt.co.uk/medieval-weekend-2017/
