| Abstract | Medieval royal and aristocratic rulers occupied a position in which they simultaneously enforced boundaries for and exercised power over the wider populace but were also subject to limits on their authority. These limitations might have been explicit, as in the legal and financial systems which established guidelines for rulers, or implicit, as in the social expectations and political networks that they were required to navigate. Geographic, legal, social, and political boundaries of governance may have developed slowly over centuries, or been consolidated by development and reform over a shorter period of time, or overhauled in times of crisis. |
