| Abstract | As people moved around medieval Europe, so too did ideas about culture and ethnicity. These concepts were expressed in a variety of texts and practices as monks, merchants, and ordinary townsfolk grappled with their individual and group identities when faced with a changing environment. Grouping together scholars with wide-ranging perspectives, this session aims to examine the ways in which questions of ethnicity and identity were dealt with throughout Europe - from 15th-century Livonia, through 12th-century England, to 15th-century Spain, and Ireland. |
