Ben is a First Class Honors History graduate from King’s College London. With a passion for research and writing, he has explored a wide spectrum of historical periods, from post-Roman Europe to the globalization of the 1970s. His primary research interests lie in the intersection of culture, politics, society, and religion. When not immersed in academic pursuits, Ben enjoys historical fiction, with Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall series a particular favorite. Despite its historical inaccuracies, my favorite TV drama is Vikings, although the hilarious Plebs is a close second.
