Jonathan Sumption is a leading historian of the Hundred Years War, whose acclaimed account of the conflict currently spans three volumes, Trial by Battle (1991), Trial by Fire (1999) and Divided Houses (2009). He was for some time a fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, where he studied as an undergraduate, and is now a barrister of some renown. He seldom gives talks, so this event, which begins Hilary Term for the Stubbs Society, is a rare opportunity to hear him speak outside the courts.
