| Abstract | This session is the second of three linked workshops which will explore interdisciplinary approaches to medieval transition periods, and social responses to political, cultural, and religious upheaval. This session focusses on recent research on burial practice and memorial choices at the end of the Middle Ages, using historical, art historical and archaeological methodologies to explore the ideals and realities of burial in a time of fundamental religious and social transition. The papers will explore responses by patrons and their families to quickly shifting religious cultures, and the part these responses played in affirming or subverting change. |
