Welcome to the Centre for Medieval Studies

The Centre for Medieval Studies (CMS) at the University of York was founded in 1968 in order to promote interdisciplinary research into the Middle Ages, and it is now one of the most successful teaching institutions in this field anywhere in the world. The subjects taught include Archaeology, Art and Architectural History, History (social, economic, political, ecclesiastical, intellectual and gender) and Literature (including Old and Middle English, Old Norse, Latin and French).

The Centre's staff are drawn from:

• Department of Archaeology
• Department of Art History
• Department of English and Related Literature
• Department of History
