Episode 11: al-Andalus with Bruna Soravia (Italy)
<p>How did government actually work in al-Andalus? In this episode, I discuss the kitaba, or 'art of the secretary', with Bruna Soravia.

Episode 10: state formation in north-western Iberia with Alvaro Carvajal (Spain)
<p>Northwestern Iberia is renowned amongst medievalists for its wealth of charters. In this episode, I talk to Alvaro Carvajal Castro about how historians are using these documents in concert with archaeology to investigate social and political changes in the 10th and 11th centuries, as kings and elites increasingly intruded upon long-established peasant communities.</p><br><p><u>Works mentioned in the podcast</u></p><p>Carvajal Castro, Alvaro, 'Early Medieval Commons?
