T.E. Lawrence.
The subject of T.E. Lawrence’s Oxford history thesis was medieval military architecture. He pursued this interest by studying Crusader castles in France, Syria, and Palestine, and his submission of this work earned him first-class honours in history in 1910. The thesis was later published posthumously in 1936 under the title Crusader Castles.1
