Dr Sean Manning has studied Greek and Roman Studies at the University of Calgary and Ancient History and Ancient Near Eastern Studies at the University of Innsbruck, where he received his PhD in 2018. He now works outside academia but is affiliated with the University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. At one time he was involved in the historical fencing movement, and that lead to a ten-year quest to use his academic training and hands-on experience to understand medieval clothing. He has written articles for Pyramid  (Steve Jackson Games), Ancient Warfare, Ancient History, Medieval Warfare, Desperta Ferro, and Ancient World Magazine (online). He has previously published academic works with a variety of publishers including the University of Toronto Press and Franz Steiner Verlag.
