| Abstract | This strand of six sessions was organised to provide a unified forum for the discussion of Scandinavian history, which last year had been divided into several scattered sessions, some of which conflicted. The first of the six sessions will examine the theme of 'Empire' in Scandinavia not from a political but from a spiritual angle. The papers look at the presence of a papal 'empire' in later medieval Scandinavia as manifested in penitentiary texts, the presence of the Dominican order and papal collectors in the Baltic. |
