| Abstract | The study of the past has recently taken a material turn; this strand brings that turn to the study of bishops and the secular clergy in the Middle Ages. Interdisciplinary in approach, this session brings together an archaeologist, an historian, and an art historian to examine how bishops and the clergy used and managed their spaces. The session will assist scholars in thinking about the issue of these figures' degree of control over their residences, control that might be limited by institutional or material factors. |
