| Abstract | The papers in this session deal with the various ways the commemoration of the dead was organized inside cities. The first paper concentrates on the rules and regulations concerning the commemoration of the dead in Dutch collegiate churches, focussing on charters and decrees that laid down these rules. The second paper deals with guilds in Lincoln that were instituted in the period after the Black Death. It explores the different regulations and attitudes of these guilds towards the commemoration of the dead. The third paper addresses charter evidence for urban spiritual benefactions in twelfth-century York. The role of men and women in these urban charters is being explored as well as whether gender affected the rules of commemoration. |
