The Lions of al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay

This September, universities are back up and running - and Media-eval will be featuring conversations between specialists of the medieval Iberian Peninsula! In this episode, Sarah and fellow medieval historian Dana Wessell Lightfoot explore interfaith contact and conflict in The Lions of al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay, a novel set in a world inspired by medieval al-Andalus. Join us as we delve into the real-life inspirations for characters and the question of convivencia in the medieval Iberian Peninsula.
