| Abstract | This session explores a series of disputed medieval 'frontiers' have later sometimes been viewed as highly controversial. They cover a very wide range in time, from the 10th century to the late Middle Ages, and in geographic spread from England to the Eastern Mediterranean, and touch on major historical subjects and debates. Paper A discusses the historiography of an important battle and suggests its disputed location is to be found at the intersection of frontiers. Paper B reveals the nature and extent of Ottoman naval power in vital theatres. Paper C considers the vexed question of the 'Clash of Civilizations'. |
