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 shall discuss the effects of conquest on patterns of thought in the 12th century, ranging from topics such as identity, to ethnicity, to the role of women in conquest and the process of history. |
