Abstract	Session 1 (of 3): Borders have been a constant in human history, whether they were separating countries, estates or the verge between road and land. More elusive were the borders that existed only in the minds of those who created them. The limit of the known world and the barbarous North beyond, the veil between life and death and the various kings whose rules divided time periods are just some examples of immaterial boundaries. This session aims to explore this concept of imagined borders with a particular focus on medieval narratives of community.
