Michael A. Hicks (born 1948)[citation needed] is an English historian, specialising in the history of late medieval England, in particular the Wars of the Roses, the nature of late medieval society, and the kings and nobility of the period.
Education and academic career
Hicks studied under
Gerald Harriss for a joint study with Christine Carpenter, Michael Hicks and himself "foundered on [their] incompatible points of view".[9]
Research and interests
Originally firmly wedded to the McFarlane understanding of
high politics" as material benefit.[10] In a 2014 interview with Royal Studies Journal, he opined that, until recently, "all History was political"; but noted that there was an increasingly thematic trend to historical research.[11]
Retirement and later activity
The Richard III Society consists of some who contain an extreme and romantic view. They publish scholarly work in the belief that it will eventually exculpate Richard III, but it hasn't actually done so.[12]
– Michael Hicks on the Richard III Society
Eventually Professor of Medieval History and head of department at the
peer-reviewed Southern History journal.[15] It has been calculated that in the thirty-five year period to 2013 he published seventy-five articles and full-length studies, averaging over two per year. As of 2012,[16] his most recent work has centred on the Inquisitions post mortem,[17] and he is now principal investigator on a project "dedicated to creating a digital edition of the medieval English inquisitions".[18][19]
Exhumation and reburial of Richard III
Interviewed by the
The White Queen's portrayal of the people and time "useful and informative".[22]
Recognition
A The Ricardian, Anne F. Sutton.[23]
