The 2023 Historical Research lecture will be given by Lyndal Roper. Lyndal is Regius Professor of History, Oriel College, University of Oxford. 

The German Peasants’ War, 1524–1525, was the biggest uprising in Western Europe before the French Revolution. The rebellion extended to the Tyrol, Northern Italy and Alsace and at its peak covered most of Germany. It occurred at the height of the Reformation in successive waves, during which, thousands of people–miners, peasants, and townsfolk risked everything and lost their lives. 


This year, Historical Research celebrates 100 years of publishing. Please join us for our annual lecture and reception to celebrate its centenary.  

The lecture is sponsored by Oxford University Press
