Abstract | This session explores the ways in which the tensions between different regions of the English polity were played out. It also examines the extent to which there was continuity of approach between centre and periphery. The first paper will offer a comparative exploration of policies and practices in the various lordships governed by the English crown. The second paper will explore the value of stressing the distinctiveness and particularity of the challenge Scotland presented for the English crown after 1296. The final paper will consider the fate of alien priories in Ireland, and the ways in which their experience was different from and similar to those in the wider English realm. |
