| Abstract | The session concentrates on the ways in which material objects can be used to shed light on 12th and 13th-century politics. The session examines the use of coins (those of Isabella of Angoulême and the Empress Matilda) to demonstrate female lordship in action. The session also examines the use of the physical appearance of Chancery records from the reigns of John and Henry III to examine the question of affective emotion. |
