| 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 second of two linked panels, presenters will examine three different cases from the reign of Robert the Pious (996-1031) that indicate a real change in both the sources of elite conflict and the representation of political cohesiveness. |
