Research Interests
Scholarship and archival research
Academic research, independent archival work, and areas of scholarly expertise.
Primary research focus
Meredith’s primary research centres on the minority of Richard II of England (1377–1389). Her work examines the mechanisms of governance, political culture, and the exercise of royal authority during the king’s youth — a formative period that shaped the course of late-medieval English politics and had lasting consequences for the relationship between the Crown and its subjects.
Secondary interests
Beyond her doctoral research, Meredith’s scholarly interests span a broad range of interconnected subjects in medieval studies:
- Politics and government of late-medieval England
- History of medieval universities
- Episcopal and ecclesiastical history
- Medieval warfare
- Intellectual history — philosophy and political theology
Independent archival research
Meredith undertakes independent archival research on behalf of individuals and institutions. Whether tracing lineages through medieval records, investigating specific historical events, or conducting bespoke research projects, she brings scholarly rigour and deep familiarity with primary source collections to every inquiry.
She also partners with Sticks Research Agency, a professional genealogical and historical research firm based in the United Kingdom.
If you have a research project or archival inquiry, Meredith welcomes your questions.
