Administration / Biographical History: Creating of a detailed Medieval publication for the Isle of Man with a greater focus on the archaeological aspects; dates ranging from AD 1100 to 1550. This came about after a publicist approached PJD and suggested such a text be produced as a resent publication by Julian D Richards (Richards, Julian D 2004 Viking Age England Stroud: The History Press) omitted the Isle of Man completely.
The publication was issued in 2013.
