| Abstract | Anglo-Norman and Angevin charter material is a rich resource for the study of the rulers, institutions, and communities of the 11th to 13th centuries. The papers in this session examine various aspects of royal and ducal charters issued in England, Normandy, and Anjou; issues considered will include government and conquest, the expansion of Norman charter practice, and individual representation. These papers raise questions about the nature of charter diplomatic and production, as well as how historians interpret these records. They also question the structures of distinctively 'cross-border' societies which underlie the production of these documents. Taken together, the papers give a sense of the breadth of charter studies currently being undertaken by historians of the Anglo-Norman and Angevin world. |
