| Abstract | This panel will examine the articulation of power through the production, transmission and preservation of official documents such as Charters, Letters, Papal Bulls, and Chronicles. Papers will explore how these documents expressed power within the secular and ecclesiastical institutions of Medieval England between 1154 and 1453. Topics will centre on the workings of charters of exemption, the movement of beneficiaries and production of the royal charter corpus of Henry II, and the mechanisms through which images and ideas pertaining to the crusades were preserved and transmitted in late medieval England. |
