| Abstract | What was rebellion in the early and central middle ages? What did acts of rebellion mean for the English and Norman nobility and ruling families, and how did approaches to it change? This session will address the languages of political discourse expressed through acts of rebellion, considering the participants in rebellions and their motivations, the significance of locations chosen for such actions, and later representations of rebellion in historical sources. The range of readings of rebellion by such sources is especially pertinent to this session as it allows us to consider the ways in which the shaping of identities, such as those of gender and family, takes place in both medieval and modern historiography. |
