| Abstract | These sessions ask where did status end and office begin in pre-Conquest England and how things changed under the Normans? Can the men and women who gained status and office in the ecclesiastical sphere tell us things about those who obtained the same thing in the secular world? What can a discussion of the lower male and female aristocrats reveal about those who held the office of reeve or earl? Addressing these and other questions furthers a multifaceted understanding of the period including revelations of social and political regional variation in England in the 9th through 12th centuries. |
