Early Medieval Europe, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 458-479, August 2026.
Scholarly consideration of women in the seventh‐century Fredegar chronicle has long been dominated by the author’s hostility towards Brunhild, queen of Austrasia. Statistical analysis of Latin world chronicles before ad 900, however, shows that Fredegar’s representation of women was unusually high within this tradition.

Renaissance Studies, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 507-531, June 2026.

Journal of Religious History, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 439-454, December 2025.
