| Abstract | Prosopography can be a useful tool in the historian's tool box. It can highlight relationships that might otherwise go unnoticed. The papers in this session will each examine how prosopography can be applied to shed light on topics that would otherwise be under-appreciated. The papers will consider how prosopography can be used to flesh out the relationship between Carolingian fathers and sons, information Anglo-Saxon minters hold for the economic life of early medieval England, and reconstructing the society of the Crusader states in the years following the Battle of Hattin. In addition to discussing the results of the prosopographical investigations, the presenters will also address the methodology they used in constructing their prosopography of these various topics. |
