Abstract | This session, the second in a series exploring the nature of royal power using cross-disciplinary approaches, is devoted to exploring the significance of the layout and architecture of royal palaces in understanding the nature and function of kingship. It will focus on hitherto little explored aspects of royal rituals notably in the context of chapels and religious rituals and routines associated with the palace, specifically in the context of the palace chapels and Maundy Thursday rituals. |
