      • James Bradbury (27 February 1937 – 19 January 2023) was a British historian specialising in the military history of the Middle Ages.


      Life


      Bradbury was born in East London, the eldest of four to Sarah (née Joel) and George Bradbury. He attended Gayhurst Primary School and Dame Alice Owen's School, before going on to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) and a Master of Arts (MA) in History, both from King's College London. He then pursued a teaching qualification at the Institute of Education.
      After teaching at comprehensive schools, Bradbury began lecturing in history at Borough Road College (later Brunel University) in the 1960s.
      In 1958, Bradbury married Ann Hooper. They had three children, Stephen, Jane, and Derek, the latter of whom died in infancy. The family settled in Selsey, where Bradbury would commute from to London for work until his retirement in 1989. In his spare time, he was a trumpet player and a painter. Bradbury died in January 2023, at the age of 85.
