Medieval Historical Consultant for Film & TV
The Middle Ages, minus the clichés
WHERE WE HELP
-
VIKINGS & THE NORSE WORLD
A Viking historian for your production. Sagas, Eddic myth, runes, ships and social order: we help Norse stories move past horned helmets and into the strange, legalistic, poetic world the sources actually describe.
-
CELTIC BRITAIN & IRELAND
From the Iron Age to the early Irish and Welsh tales: gods, kings, druids, feasting and feuds, rooted in the texts rather than the Victorian revival.
-
ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND
Old English poetry, kingship, monasteries and war bands. The world of Beowulf and Alfred, rendered with texture and nuance.
-
ARTHURIAN LEGEND & ROMANCE
Arthur from his earliest Welsh and Latin appearances to the high medieval romances. Know which Arthur you are telling, and why it matters.
-
MEDIEVAL BELIEF & SCIENCE
It was not all "Dark Ages". Medieval people argued about the stars, medicine and the shape of the world. We help your story get the intellectual life of the period right.
-
BESTIARIES & MONSTERS
Dragons, wodwos, revenants and the beasts of the medieval bestiary, with their meanings, morals and sources, ready to haunt your audience.
-
PERIOD DIALOGUE
Latin, Old English, Old Norse and Old Irish lines, translations and pronunciation guidance that actors can actually deliver.
-
SCRIPT NOTES & WORLDBUILDING
Historical review of drafts, plus cultures, rituals and material detail built from primary sources into a bible your team can use.
-
