Joanna Arman gained her love of Medieval History from childhood trips to castles, cathedrals, and Joust Weeks at Arundel Castle. As a teenager, she became a certified History nerd, reading Bede and books about the Early English kings, instead of Harry Potter or Mark Haddon. She obtained a BA Degree in Medieval History, quickly followed by a master's degree from the University of Winchester. At Winchester she developed a special interest in Medieval Women: not just queens and noblewomen but also those lower down the social order, such as female landholders, businesswomen and female plaintiffs in marriage cases. Her first book was a biography of Aethelflaed, Lady of the Mercians, published by Amberley in 2017. She lives in Sussex, the county where she grew up, with an excitable greyhound. See less
