| Abstract | Often, we see medieval queens in movement: between families, between lands, between status, between the lines. This strand seeks to think with and through the theme of 'borders', to consider how medieval and premodern queenship (understood in broad terms) operates and is set in motion by queens themselves and those around them. This session will focus on queens navigating both physical and religious borders in the kingdoms of early medieval England and Scotland. |
