Description

This session aims to provide a venue for work engaged with the methodology of using data drawn from analysis of a group or relationships between individuals to restore to view the lives of those who would otherwise remain unexamined or to yield new insight into the medieval past. It will bring together diverse papers employing similar methodologies. The methodological focus of this panel brings medievalists into conversation with one another who would not normally present together in sessions with specific chronological and geographic parameters. The speakers will present research ranging from the Carolingian Empire to later medieval France and Hungary.
