Richard II: York and the Peasants' Revolt

In 1396, Richard II gave York the status of a county in its own right, a sword of state and a cap of maintenance, as a reward for the city's loyalty. Yet in 1380 and 1381, York's citizens had revolted against the king, ransacked church property and attacked Bootham Bar. This day school examines the reasons why the city revolted, including the Black Death, the consequences of revolt, and how York regained the trust of Richard II. It is anticipated that this course will be held at the King's Manor.

An Introduction to Attachment Theory

Attachment theory is considered as one of the most important concepts in many areas of psychology. Each of us has an attachment style that is developed throughout our lifespan, starting from our very first attachment experiences as an infant. This attachment style influences how we interact with other people and how we behave in our relationships with others. This course will provide a basic introduction to the core ideas within attachment theory, including the different attachment styles and their characteristics.
