| Abstract | In the Middle Ages, the power, influence, and authority of the nobility could be manifested through a number of material mediums. These different artefacts were each used within specific contexts for particular purposes, to display, emphasise, and exert their lordship. The strand aims to explore how lordly authority was displayed and demonstrated through a range of sources, from material culture to documents and literature. This second panel focusses on written accounts, examining the archives and record-keeping of Edward Stafford, duke of Buckingham, and the bishops of Durham, as well as recipe collections (Forme of Cury and Du Fait de Cuisine). |
