On Tuesday evening, the History Society was treated to a stimulating lecture on the topic of ‘The Black Prince and the Terrors of Chivalry’ delivered by Professor David Green of Harlaxton College, University of Evansville.

David was a pupil in Tallis between 1983 and 1988 and was making a return to his old school for the first time in several decades. His lecture explored the origins, significance and demise of chivalry with the help of primary sources and written manuscripts from the medieval period.

A packed house of A level and IB historians witnessed a very special evening and asked several pertinent questions about chivalry. Thank you Professor Green for journeying out to Norfolk and hope he will visit again soon.
