| Abstract | There is a growing interest in the study of medieval European history in Japanese universities, as testified by the recent creation of a Japanese Society for the Study of Medieval Europe, as well as a growing exchange with European universities. This session seeks to provide a showcase for recent works by young Japanese scholars on Medieval Europe. It focuses on themes such as political structures and judicial systems, and especially the roles of public or monarchic power, religious institutions and private reconciliation, as well as the varied relationships between them. Its setting is specifically Iceland, Italy, and the Iberian peninsula. |
