hello! this is the weird medieval guys substack.

you probably know me from twitter, where i post medieval art. this substack is where i give more fun information about:

• the art that i post

• medieval life and history

• sometimes non-medieval history

about me

okay, i know you’re mostly here for the guys. but i thought i’d introduce myself!

i’m olivia and i run weird medieval guys. i’m not a historian or a medievalist or a codicologist or anything. i’m actually a former statistician who wrote her undergraduate dissertation in 2022 about new ways to measure historical frog population change in the uk. so in that sense, i’m kind of a 20th century frog historian, but also not really.

i’ve also been an artist and art enthusiast for my whole life, and i do my best to make sure my posts are as factual as possible. if you read anything on my posts that sounds wrong, please do leave a comment or email me on weirdmedievalguys@gmail.com. i will correct it!
