English historian

**Rosemary Elizabeth Horrox**,[1] [FRHistS](/source/Fellow_of_the_Royal_Historical_Society) (born 21 May 1951) is an [English](/source/English_people) [historian](/source/Historian), specialising in the [political culture](/source/Political_culture) of [late medieval England](/source/Late_medieval_England), [patronage](/source/Patronage) and [society](/source/Society).[2]

She is a [Fellow](/source/Fellow_(Oxbridge)) and retired Director of Studies in History at [Fitzwilliam College](/source/Fitzwilliam_College%2C_Cambridge) at the [University of Cambridge](/source/University_of_Cambridge).[2] She is an affiliated lecturer in history at Cambridge's [Institute of Continuing Education](/source/Institute_of_Continuing_Education).[3]

She studied at [South Park High School, Lincoln](/source/South_Park_High_School%2C_Lincoln) and received her [Bachelor of Arts](/source/Bachelor_of_Arts) (BA), [Master of Arts](/source/Master_of_Arts) (MA) and [Doctor of Philosophy](/source/Doctor_of_Philosophy) (PhD) from the [University of Cambridge](/source/University_of_Cambridge),[4] the latter being a study of royal patronage under [King Richard III of England](/source/King_Richard_III_of_England). She studied for this at [Newnham College](/source/Newnham_College) under the supervision of [G.L. Harriss](/source/G.L._Harriss), whose suggestion it had been, and it was awarded in March 1977.[1] More recently, her interests have expanded into the relationship between [local-](/source/Local_government) and [central government](/source/Central_government),[5] the [Black Death](/source/Black_Death),[6] medieval female authority, and queenship. As well as lecturing full-time at Cambridge, she also lectures privately[7][8] and for [high schools](/source/High_school),[9] and campaigned against the dissolution of the [AS Level](/source/Advanced_Subsidiary_level) in 2013.[10]

During the 2012–15 controversy surrounding the [burial place of the recently discovered bones](/source/Exhumation_and_reburial_of_Richard_III_of_England) of Richard III, she supported the claim of [York](/source/York) to be the most fitting final resting place for the last [Plantaganet](/source/Plantaganet) king, saying that the dead king's "self-identification with the North is reflected in his plans for a chantry of 100 priests in York Minster, where he surely hoped to be buried."[11][12]

She is a Fellow of the [Royal Historical Society](/source/Royal_Historical_Society)[13] and [General Editor](/source/Editor-in-chief) of the [Cambridgeshire Records Society](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cambridgeshire_Records_Society&action=edit&redlink=1).[14] and is a general editor for [The Parliament Rolls of Medieval England](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Parliament_Rolls_of_Medieval_England,_1275-1504&action=edit&redlink=1) project, which transcribed, translated, and published digitally and in print, the [Rolls of Parliament](/source/Rolls_of_Parliament).[15][16]
