Suger von Saint-Denis
During her career, Grant has appeared in a number of televised documentaries including two episodes of "A Time Team Special" on ‘Dover Castle’ (2009) and ‘The Secrets of Westminster Abbey’ in 2010. She was a guest of Melvyn Bragg in the "In Our Time" episode on BBC Radio 4 in 2016 when they discussed Eleanor of Aquitaine and her article on the medieval queen later appeared in the "BBC History Magazine". She has published extensively and her work is often cited. Her biography of Abbot Suger, "Abbot Suger of Saint-Denis: Church and State in Early Medieval France", ‘challenges scholarly conventions about the famous abbot. Grant suggests that Suger was not an original thinker, but rather a successful administrator and consummate politician whose theological views expressed a keen desire for orthodoxy’. A review of her most recent book "Blanche of Castile, Queen of France" heralded it as ‘an invaluable resource for studying Capetian France’.
