| Abstract | This session aims to explore instrumental aspects of secular lordship through the experience of two important lords, namely the Lord Edward and Richard of Cornwall, and one family, the de Lacy, earls of Lincoln, who all occupied differing positions and roles within aristocratic society in the 13th century. Andrew Connell's paper will analyse the construction and the evolution of the de Lacy family's affinity under the reigns of both Henry III and his son. Rod Billaud will then consider the Lord Edward's overlooked control of Ireland before ascending the throne in 1272. Finally, Adrian Jobson will investigate Richard of Cornwall's lordship and benevolent attitude towards Montfortian supporters in the aftermath of the Battle of Evesham (August 1265). |
