This session looks to examine the issue and consolidation of rules in various areas across medieval Europe (Britain, France and Italy) and provide points of comparison for discussion and debate. The papers will have particular reference to the interaction of Law, Violence and Social Bonds in the periods and regions they examine and investigate differing attitudes and techniques with regard to law making. |
