Marigold Norbye teaches Latin Palaeography and Medieval Latin at University College London. With a BA in Classics from Cambridge (1983) and a Master's in Medieval Studies from UCL (1999), she completed her PhD at UCL in 2004. Her research focuses on manuscripts, particularly a fifteenth-century French genealogical chronicle titled 'A tous nobles', exploring the use of images and diagrams to support historical narratives, especially related to medieval genealogical chronicles. Since 2004, she has been a Tutor for the UCL History Department, teaching a module on Manuscripts and Documents in the MA Medieval Renaissance Studies program. Since 2006, she has also been a Tutor in the Department of Greek & Latin.

Her work is particularly concerned with how manuscript books and ancient texts were copied and interpreted across the centuries from Antiquity to the Renaissance.
