hi! i'm charlotte. currently studying for my phd in medieval history, researching the role of the medieval comb in relation to ritual. combs were important in pagan burial rites and then became important for medieval bishops. how did they go from pagan object to christian symbol?

my weekly newsletter provides diary-style updates on my research, as well as why i think it's relevant right now, and some fun historical facts. if you like weird medieval history, exorcisms and death rituals, i think you might like this.

if you'd like to stay in touch in other ways, i am sporadically on social media.
