| Abstract | Integration of approaches from social and cultural history has revived research into medieval reign in recent years. Reign is now mainly perceived as a discursive practice by a group of heterogeneous actors, each with distinct motivations and networks. Since this stresses the importance of communicative proximity, actors had to cope with the challenge of spatial distance, necessitating both acts and agents of mediation. The processes involved often materialized in the issuing of charters. Hence, diplomatic analyses can contribute greatly to displaying these negotiation processes. In our session, we will pursue this approach by comparing case studies from various regions of Latin Europe, representing its internal diversity. |
