| Abstract | The first of the War, Peace and Diplomacy sessions will explore the role of arbitration and mediation within European dispute resolutions in the Middle Ages - namely, the methods, actors and language involved. Together, the papers in this session will address a variety of local, regional and international dimensions, as well as a range of contexts which led to mediation/arbitration. Moreover, they will highlight a numerous and diverse range of agents appointed to assist within dispute settlements, investigating (among other things) the methods, powers, and capacity through which they intervened. Ultimately, these papers will reveal the highly fluid and flexible nature of European diplomatic practice throughout the Middle Ages. |
