| Abstract | The medieval classroom was a place made up of rules and regulations. Both pupils and teachers had to follow often strict codes regarding speech, action and gesture. This session seeks to explore the parameters within which schoolmasters had to work and teach and how these were affected by the patrons and guardians of the schools, whether that was the Church or municipal councils. Likewise, the rules that governed pupils and students will also be examined; where one's intended career, rather than what was done or not done in the schoolroom, shaped the definition of what being good or bad was. |
