Abstract | The medieval world was made up of a very dense web of networks and relationships. One's place in medieval society depended upon where that individual fell in this grid of networks. Prosopographical analysis can expose these relationships and trace these webs of influence. The three papers in this session will examine how prosopographical applications can shed light on native responses to invasion, the personnel of a diplomatic mission of 843, and how medieval people forged their identities. The goal of this session is to foster dialogue and exchange among scholars using different methods, as well as working in different times and places. |
