| Abstract | In the 10th and 11th centuries, communities across the former Carolingian Empire and beyond negotiated, reassessed, and asserted their own identities and networks in ways that both reflected on the past and looked to the future. These three papers each consider group identities in different contexts that offer varied perspectives on regional rulers, elites and 'othering'. The session breaches boundaries between secular and ecclesiastic and east and west to pose broader questions about post-Carolingian identity and community'. |
