Possible topics for papers and images might include, but are not limited to:

- Historiographical innacuracy
- Plots and treason
- Fealty and treason

Papers should be 20 minutes in length. Please send proposals of approximately, or 1000 words if applying as a panel, to emremforum@googlemail.com by Friday 3rd March 2018.
For the exhibition send a high-resolution image, along with a 200 word summary of what it shows and how it links to your research (if accepted, we will organise the printing). These will be exhibited during the conference as a five-minute presentation, and prizes will be awarded.
