Abstract

This session explores the relationship between the centre and 'periphery' (in the British Isles and overseas) in the later medieval Plantagenet dominions. Papers will explore the reasons why the English impulse to colonise the lands of their neighbours was curbed in this era, and how this informed contemporary thinking about the nature of English power as well as considering the position and role of members of the royal retainers and extended affinity in regions distant from the capital.
