| Abstract | This is the first of two sessions on different meanings of 'borders' in early medieval European societies. Papers A and B focus on Britain, with the former exploring Anglo-Saxon descriptions of Europe and shifting perceptions of Britain's place in the world, while the latter discusses the depiction of Welsh kings in the 11th-century annals of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, demonstrating that the Welsh are more central than generally assumed. With Paper C the attention shifts to the Iberian Peninsula and, more specifically, the regions south of the River Duero, to propose a new interpretation of their territorial organisation. |
