Professor Daniel Power is currently Professor of Medieval History at Swansea University. He was Director and Principal Investigator on the Lands of the Normans project.

Professor Power studied at Selwyn College, Cambridge, and then held a research fellowship at Trinity Hall, Cambridge. In 1996 he was appointed to a lectureship in the Department of History at the University of Sheffield, where he was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2005 and Reader in 2007. His main area of research is the history of France and England from the eleventh to the thirteenth centuries. He is the author of The Norman Frontier in the Twelfth and Early Thirteenth Centuries (Cambridge, 2004), and he is currently researching the impact upon the Anglo-French aristocracy of the separation of England and Normandy in 1204 (until the treaty of Paris in 1259).

Dr. Tony Moore was the Research Associate on the "Lands of the Normans" project. His duties included collaborating on the initial design of the ontology for the project, identifying relevant historical material and entering this into the project database. He is currently Research Assistant on the ESRC-funded project 'Credit Finance in the Middle Ages: Loans to the English Crown c. 1272-1340' based at the ICMA centre, the University of Reading.

Dr. Moore previously studied as an undergraduate and postgraduate at the University of Cambridge, and his PhD thesis, entitled 'Government and Locality in Essex during the reign of Henry III, 1216-1272', was approved in May 2006. His own research focuses on the relationship between centre and locality in medieval England. His more specific concerns are the identity of the landed class and the development of royal government (particularly the early history of the Common Law) in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. He is also interested in local history and the use of ICT in historical research.
