| Abstract | The second Urban Connected Communities panel will analyse a darker side of civic interactions, examining violence and control in a wide-ranging study stretching from Hereford to Bologna via Burgundian controlled Flanders. Looking first at student violence in Oxford and Bologna, town-gown conflicts, civic disturbance will be a key theme. In analysing the liveries and badges worn by Flemish urban groups, and the influence of the prince over them, more subtle methods of control and displays of loyalty will be scrutinised. Finally in analysing civic involvement in noble rebellion, the panel will examine violent demonstrations of (dis)loyalty through sieges and warfare. |
