The Medieval History Journal (MHJ) is a peer reviewed journal and derives its distinctive profile from encompassing the entire medieval world in scope and its multi-disciplinary foci. For the MHJ, `Medieval History` signifies open chronological and thematic boundaries to honour historical plurality. It is in this spirit that the MHJ also considers the separation between the medieval and the early modern merely on chronological grounds to be historiographically and thematically problematic. Therefore, the emphasis of the Journal is to encourage thematic, temporal or spatial transitions over the centuries comprising the medieval and the early modern epochs providing scope for comparative and transcultural conversations within scholarship. This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) . Submit your manuscript today at https://peerreview.sagepub.com/mhj .
