On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
