| Abstract | This session addresses the ways in which events were remembered in the lands ruled by the Angevin kings of England (c. 1154 - c. 1216), a time of much innovation and variety in the recording and remembering of the past. Paper (a) looks at how the invasion of Ireland was remembered outside Ireland, in Latin and vernacular texts. Paper (b) discusses disputed memories of miracles in hagiographical texts, particularly those associated with Gilbert of Sempringham. Paper (c) examines the divergent ways in which King John's loss of Normandy was remembered across the 'Angevin empire'. |
