Abstract | This session examines both normative and performative aspects of aristocratic life in England and Wales, mainly in the fourteenth century, by focussing on two cases studies (one an individual, the other a family) and one thematic study of the theme of the favourite. It will be of interest to all those who pursue the ideological and political history of aristocracy, and of special relevance to those committed to the political history of the reign of Edward II. |
