Abstract | Besides the orderly and sustainable models of Roman, Carolingian, Ottonian, and Byzantine empires, occasional imperial experiences developed in some areas of medieval Europe. In these two sessions we will address several of these experiments originated in two regions on the borders of the Latin Christendom as well as the Islamic world: Brittany and the Iberian Peninsula. On which historical and symbolic grounds did they rely? What were their lexicological manifestations? How did they create legitimacy? The papers presented will examine these issues and question the marginality of these imperial ideas. |
