| Abstract | The medieval Order of the Holy Trinity for the Redemption of Captives, founded in 1198, was known for reserving one third of its income for the redemption of Christians taken prisoner during the Crusades. The Order grew a network of houses across Europe, but by comparison with other religious orders the medieval Trinitarians have received limited scholarly attention, especially in English-language scholarship. This session brings together academics working in different countries and different disciplines, at varying stages of their careers, to discuss materiality as it relates to the Trinitarian Order in the medieval period. Focusing on the Order's economic and spiritual concerns; Trinitarian material remains; royal and aristocratic patronage; and the manuscript books of their English brethren, this session will promote discussion of the material interests and priorities of medieval Trintarians across medieval and modern national boundaries. |
