“It has been said that though God cannot alter the past, historians can; it is perhaps because they can be useful to Him in this respect that He tolerates their existence. ”

Research
Dr. Nice’s current research project focuses upon the Council in the Marches of Wales during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In particular, his project examines the inclusion of traditionally non-Welsh shires under the jurisdiction of this largely Welsh institution, and assesses the resulting impact on seventeenth-century English and Welsh politics.
Publications
Professor Nice’s articles have appeared in The English Historical Review, Studies in Medieval and Renaissance History, The Catholic Historical Review, and The Welsh History Review. He has also published a book review in The Sixteenth Century Journal. In 2009 he has published his book Sacred History and National Identity: Comparisons between Early Modern Wales and Brittany.
