John Julius Norwich
John Julius Norwich (1929-2018) studied at New College, Oxford, and in 1952, joined the Foreign Office, where he was posted to the British embassies in Belgrade and Beirut. He participated in the British delegation at the Geneva Disarmament Conference. In 1964, he left his diplomatic career to focus on writing. He authored more than twenty books on the history of Europe and the Mediterranean, and his trilogy on the Byzantine Empire is one of the reference texts for that historical period. Lord Norwich was a member of the Royal Society of Literature, the Royal Geographical Society, and the Society of Antiquaries and, in 1993, was appointed Commander of the Royal Victorian Order and belonged to the Executive Committee of the National Trust.
