Description

This panel examines the diverse aspects of patronage and its dynamic in the context of late medieval Central Europe. The exploration will especially accentuate the political, cultural, and religious dimensions of the patron—client relationships in local and regional contexts. Whether it was political clientele, support of local church, or effecting a religious change, patronage helped to facilitate historical developments throughout Central Europe in fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries.
