Lecture 30th January 2013 “Vanished Kingdoms” - Norman Davies
Invitation from the Oxford Society of Belgium:
The historian Norman Davies (Magdalen, 1959-62) is giving a lecture at the BELvue museum on Wednesday January 30th at 20.00, based on his newly published book ‘Vanished Kingdoms: The History of Half-Forgotten Europe’.
The lecture is free, though pre-reservation is advised, you can find details here: http://belvue.be/en/node/494 .
This looks like being a most interesting talk, the book has received widespread critical acclaim

and likely to provoke lively debate; if enough Oxbridge Society members are interested we could adjourn afterwards to a nearby hostelry to continue our discussion.
If you do decide to register with the organisers (the deBuren Association) with the intention of going do let me know as well and I will see about making the post-talk arrangements.
Best regards
