Abstract	The boundary between the secular and the ecclesiastical was a fluid one in the late Middle Ages. This was true in legal terms but is also reflected in ritual and in literature. This session examines the many ways in which these limits were negotiated and re-negotiated in the late Middle Ages in all levels of society and how societal attitudes towards Church and State influenced and were influenced by these shifts. To do so it focuses upon the diocese and city of Lincoln.
