| Abstract | The history of Britain and Ireland between the 11th and 13th centuries is traditionally dominated by narratives of Anglo-Norman conquest. But when the period is viewed from alternative, western perspectives, other discourses come to the fore. In particular, the Irish and Welsh experience during these centuries cannot simply be characterised as one of gradual subjugation at the hands of Anglo-Norman invaders. These sessions bring together some alternative viewpoints on the history of these islands during this turbulent period. |
