| Abstract | This session is part of the 'Royal Ceremony in the Middle Ages' strand, the aim of which is to explore the participants, audience, and materialities involved in royal ceremony, and analyse its wider political and religious significance across space and time. The objects and visual material that were used within ceremonies or created contemporaneously can be effective and enlightening windows into our understanding of royal power and imagery. This session thus seeks to assess the royal ceremony as a time and space in which monarchy is received by an audience and becomes visible, tangible and material. |
