Abstract | These sessions seek to explore the ideas, customs, and behaviour of petitioners and administrators at ecclesiastical and royal courts in the submission and receipt of supplications for legal redress. They will assess the effectiveness of the legal strategies pursued by supplicants, as well as the administrative systems in place for the provision of justice and grace in response to these petitions. |
