| Abstract | The first paper will examine the importance of witnesses' memories in late medieval court proceedings, particularly in inquisitions where the proof of age of an heir was established.

The third paper will look at parliament in late medieval Ireland and Scotland, exploring the language used and the ideas developed within these assemblies. |
