| Abstract | The session discusses how physical spaces in the Anglo-Norman world were rendered emotionally significant to those who operated within them. It therefore examines which emotional responses were deemed appropriate in which spaces, and the conscious and subconscious processes by which these responses were learnt, encouraged, and enforced. Space has been loosely defined to allow these issues to be examined in both built and non-built environments, with papers covering the built spaces of a royal court, outdoor spaces both within and outside buildings, and a larger area made into a coherent region by individuals' emotional attachments to it. |
