| Abstract | This session explores gender and power in the Middle Ages. We explore a wide geographical and chronological range. By encompassing both Europe (from the 9th to the 15th century) and the Crusader States (from the 12th to the 13th century), we will examine a wide range of source material to shed new light, for example, on the complexity of the relationship between gender roles and power relations between marriage partners, women ruling as regents, and those exercising authority in their own right. |
