| Abstract | Papal and monastic reform; Norman Conquest; Investiture Controversy; urban transformation; feudal revolution; legal change; crusade - all of these and more besides have been associated with the 11th century. There has never been any doubt that it was a pivotal period. However, the strength of these various and individual perspectives has tended to fragment the 11th century into separate chunks which look either forwards or backwards, but less often sideways at recent or simultaneous developments. The papers in this session all think outside the historical boxes into which the 11th century is usually compartmentalised, considering change, and looking beyond just the blue riband events to contemporary areas to discuss ideas of institutions and institutionalism, real or ideal, in the period. |
