| Abstract | The resolution of disputes took many forms in the Central Middle Ages, but accounts of discord and reconciliation are frequently found in records of litigation and judicial proceedings across Western Europe. This session, the second of a two-part series, will draw together three papers that demonstrate the complex and sophisticated mechanisms utilized by the 11th-century élite to end dispute. These papers, focusing on three very different geographical contexts, will examine facets of this theme, namely the administration of justice in 10th-century Galicia, the articulation of kingly power in 11th-century Anglo-Saxon England, and the relationship between lords and their followers in 11th- and 12th-century Anjou. |
