| Abstract | The impact of the Norman conquest of England on all aspects of life still offers many opportunities for further research, and even more discussion. Assessing the conquest's disruptive impact, after all, calls for an ever more refined consideration of the strategies of distinction and division that came into play after William's hostile takeover. This is the main goal of this session. Consulting normative and narrative sources, the papers will look at the transformations, adoptions and assimilations of identities in these interesting times, in order to examine and understand to what extent identities on the British Isles were re-shaped after 1066. |
