Paper 1504-c | Feud and Angevin-Capetian Conflict (Language: English) |
Abstract | These papers aim to shed new light on conflict in medieval France. Tracey Billado examines disputes over 'evil customs' with an eye to questions about whether there was a 'feudal revolution' in France c. 1000, and about how we should interpret 11th-century Angevin charters. Karen Bosnos aims to contextualize the roles of traitors within Oderic Vitalis’s Ecclesiastical History, and to address the problems of interpreting accusations of treachery in this text. |
