Abstract	This, the second in a pair of sessions, will explore some of the wider issues about petitioning and complaint that provide the institutional and cultural context for the AHRB-funded project, 'Medieval Petitions', based at the University of York under the direction of Mark Ormrod. It will explore a range of power, gender and cultural relationships between petitioner and petitioned and assess some of the wider contexts and expressions of what has been called the late medieval 'culture of complaint'.
