| Abstract | The main goal of these sessions is to give an insight of correlation and co-dependency between the centres and the periphery in matters of politics, religion, and culture. Portrayals of aristocracy, nobility, and their symbols were widespread in medieval Europe and a ubiquitous motif in Christian literature, theology, drama, and visual culture. Whereas the right to employ heraldry and aristocratic practices was legally limited to the nobility, the visual, and social codes were visible and known to all strands of medieval European society. |
