Abstract | Conquests are frequently presented as great turning points in history, but conquests are often defined as much by their continuities as by their changes. Across four sessions, we aim to examine the continuity of social practices and memorialisation across the conquests of England and Normandy in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries. In this panel, we explore how certain monastic communities were influenced by conquest, and how their understanding of the past and their own identity was shaped by these disturbances. |
