| Abstract | While the 11th century continues to be seen as a pivotal period, it tends to be fragmented. Whether looking at papal and monastic reform, urban transformation, feudal revolution or legal change, the individual perspectives separate the 11th century into chunks which look either forwards or backwards, but less often sideways at recent or simultaneous developments. The papers in these sessions think outside the historical boxes into which the 11th century is usually compartmentalised, looking at and critiquing the events and ideas of the period to discuss contemporary institutions, real or idealised. |
