Giulia Calabrò is a PhD student in medieval history at the University of Trieste. Her project looks at the presence of Genoese merchants in England between 1458 and 1466, a period in which they were subject to fines and expropriations by Henry VI after a pirate tied to the city had sunk English ships in the Mediterranean. Her paper for the Crossing Borders, Contesting Boundaries podcast explores news networks in late medieval Europe by examining how news of the Battle of Towton spread to the court of the Francesco I, Duke of Milan.
