| Abstract | The aim of this session is to examine the extent to which royal palaces were distinct from those of the aristocracy, particularly in the context of the very important complex of palaces in northern France, but also in the context of recent and very exciting research on the palaces of northern Spain. The third paper examines this question from the viewpoint of the function of palaces, specifically in connection with coronation processions. |
