| Abstract | In the late Middle Ages, the occurrence of local and regional maps is heavily increasing. Many of these maps are connected with court files, most likely because the judges at court needed an overview of the disputed land. However, it is still unclear, how these maps functioned: Who was allowed to draw a map and how 'objective' was this result? The papers in this session focus on the use and function of maps within the courts of France, England, and the Netherlands. |
