| Abstract | This session will examine perceptions of medieval migrants and particularly what made them memorable or remarkable in the eyes of the host community. They often would have had an exotic appearance with a distinct mode of dress and there would have been other differences of language, religious practice. Contributors will explore how these differences were resented, admired or exploited. Did these perceptions reinforce existing stereotypes or challenge them? |
