| Abstract | The consideration of internal and external borders of medieval urban communities allows to look on them from different perspectives and to obtain more thorough understanding of their diverse aspects. The aim of this session is to discuss possible situations when these borders can appear in sources, based on three cases including cathedral chapters, parishes, and city councils of the 11th -15th centuries. Special attention will be paid to the circumstances when communities or lords felt necessary to define, confirm, change or challenge borders, as well as to the criteria applied by them in such cases. |
