| Abstract | This panel is the second of three in the sessions on 'War, Peace, and Diplomacy'. Here, the speakers will focus on pacts and treaties, both as an ending of diplomatic negotiations and as a mean of achieving other political goals. By highlighting and comparing examples from various regions such as High medieval Normandy, Romania and the Baltic, the speakers will question the treaties' external shape and prominent themes, as well as the goals they were intended to achieve and their post-validation use. One major question addressed by this panel will concern the trust in these treaties' effectiveness. |
