So we will find an alternative talk and perhaps have a discussion between us.

Law, Death and Peacemaking
Each year since 1991 the Andover History & Archaeology Society has invited an eminent archaeologist or historian to give its annual Dacre Lecture. This year our speaker is Dr Ryan Lavelle of Winchester University and his subject is
This peace treaty was made in 994 between King Aethelred “the Unready” and Vikings commanded by Olaf Tryggvason of Norway. Dr Lavelle will be looking at the role of one of the West Saxon ealdormen in the making of the peace agreement, considering how the ealdorman’s experience and his sense of identity in the face of Viking invasions may have affected the making of peace, and proposing some new perspectives on the peace treaty in the light of recent archaeological evidence.
Our Society is a registered charity and this annual public non-profit making event contributes to fulfilling our educational objectives.
Tickets for the lecture cost £3 for members, £6 for others interested, and can be obtained ONLY at Society Meetings or at the door (cash only, please).
