Matt Foster has degrees in Ancient and Modern History from Oxford and Medieval History from York. He now teaches History and Global Politics at an independent school in Oxford. Between those things he spent almost five years as a lawyer for reasons he can't quite remember. He can be found spending his time with his young son, trying to enthuse teenagers about ancient and medieval history, and writing very slowly.
