Hi!

Welcome to the Web Page of Patricia P. Norwood, Professor of Music at Mary Washington College, Fredericksburg, VA.

 

Counts of Flanders Castle

Above you see the castle of the counts of Flanders. This seemed a unifying image for my research interests. The counts were patrons of the monastery of St. Winnoc, and the castle was the site of the negotiations to end the War of 1812 while James Monroe was Secretary of State.

  • Music History
