I’m Jaclyn Rajsic, a medievalist based at Queen Mary University of London and a scholar of medieval legendary histories of England and Britain. I love exploring how medieval legends develop over time and shape understandings of places and histories.This is my first showcase, and I’m thrilled to introduce our new theme of ‘Fractured’!
