OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

The vast majority of the queen consorts gained the big portion of their property as a result of marriage negotiations. This fact gives rise to a lot of questions. The talk will focus on Roman-German queens, their dower land and the different problems that came along with it. Legal issues especially the queen’s specific power of disposition are to consider as well. A second part will address questions of the queen’s personal belongings.
