Reader Wins History Award

Dr Glenn Richardson, Reader in Early-Modern History at St Mary's University College, Twickenham, has received a Scoulodi Foundation Historical Award from the Institute of Historical Research.

Dr Richardson, who is a specialist in 16th century Anglo-French relations, is writing a new book on the Field of Cloth of Gold, the meeting between King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France held near Calais in 1520.

The award will enable him to conduct research in archives in northern France and to survey the site of the meeting, which lies between the towns of Guines and Ardres in northern France.

Dr Richardson said: "I am very grateful to have received this award which will enable further research and hopefully fresh insights into this extraordinary episode in the history of France and England".
