Dr Guy Perry

I am Principal of the Middlebury College-CMRS Oxford Humanities Program, an Associate Professor at Middlebury College in the USA, and a Fellow by Special Election at Keble College, Oxford.

I did my BA/MA, MSt and DPhil at Lincoln College, Oxford, where my doctorate was supervised by Professor Christopher Tyerman. I went on to serve as a tutor or lecturer at a wide range of universities across the UK: from Royal Holloway and Leeds to St Peter's and Merton Colleges, Oxford.

Research Interests

My research focuses on social and geographical mobility amongst the French-speaking aristocracy during the 'age of the Crusades'. My publications include John of Brienne: King of Jerusalem, Latin Emperor of Constantinople, c.1175-1237 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2013); The Briennes: the Rise and Fall of a Champenois Dynasty in the Age of the Crusades, c.950-1356 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2018); and a co-edited volume, The Fifth Crusade in Context: the Crusading Movement in the Early Thirteenth Century (Abingdon: Routledge, 2017).  Current plans include a trade book on the relationship between Church and State in the central Middle Ages.
