| Abstract | This is the second of three sessions on 'Borders and Borderlands in Medieval and Early Modern Europe'. The aim of this session is to show how cross-border allegiances in England, Scotland, and Wales refined and shaped concepts of national identity in these three nations. The presence of migrant groups in England exacerbated existing social divisions but also contributed to the growing English nationalism, while in Scotland the alliance with France produced a new sense of identity. In Wales, political poetry helped to cement factions of Welsh and English led by various Marcher lords, preparing the ground for the civil wars of the 15th century. |
