Regius Professor of Modern History (Oxford)
- Regius Professor of Modern History (Oxford)
The Regius Professor of Modern History at the University of Oxford is an old-established professorial position. The first appointment was made in 1724. ("Modern History" is here a term of art, contrasting with ancient history; holders of the title have often been medieval historians.) The term 'Regius' reflects the origins of the post as a royal appointment, itself a recognition of the important influence of history.
The Regius Professor of Modern History is "ex officio" a Fellow of Oriel College.
