Description

This session of papers will explore textual and non-textual expressions of identity in the Anglo-Norman realm, with a focus on England. The session will place material culture and written culture alongside each other, to examine patterns of lordship and patronage and the construction of memory from the wake of the Norman Conquest to the turmoil of Stephen's reign and the assertion of Angevin power under Henry II.
