| Abstract | On many edges of the Latin world, cultures clashed militarily during the Middle Ages. Very often, one result was a conquest and the ruling of one people of one culture over the other - which then could end up in intellectual exchange and learning. In this panel, three examples from three regions shall be taken into consideration and be compared: the Iberian peninsula in the 11th-13th centuries of Reconquista, the Norman-Suebian Sicily of Emperor Frederick II, and Byzantine Constantinople under the early Ottoman rule. |
