Abstract | This panel examines different forms of boundary authority. We begin at Hornby Castle to look at the relationship between the authority of the castle with its surrounding landscape as realised in buildings and investment. This leads us to our second paper which examines authority in manorial centres through lordly buildings. We then cross the channel to examine the role of Gothic architecture on the border of Burgundy and Champagne, before finishing with the blurred boundary of humanity in the carved figure of a queen in Dijon which seems to undermine the authority she represented. |
