| Abstract | Whether one looks at histories or charters, 'France' in the 11th century under the first Capetians looks different from the 'West Frankish' kingdom in the 10th century under the last Carolingians. Why? Did something fundamental change in the structures of power? Or did histories and charters simply develop a new language that masked real continuity in structures? In this first of two linked panels, presenters will examine three cases of conflict from the beginning, middle, and end of the period to determine whether and how the sources and patterns of conflict between kings and elites changed. |
