Description

This session is focused on topics in the history of nobility, knighthood, and heraldica," which encompasses both the early and later middle ages and allows for inquiry in a diversity of subjects, including the development of martial/courtly ethos, the visual and literary rhetoric of heraldry across multiple media, legal practices governing armigery and display of arms, the political and sociological dimensions of knightly orders, and the atavistic or nostalgic appropriation of heraldric symbols and discourses in later centuries.
