| Abstract | This is the first of three proposed sessions on mendicant networks. Its four papers explore three different aspects of female mendicant networking. Alfarano stays within the order and focuses on the establishment of the often-overlooked female branch of the Carmelites, whereas Peuker and Friedrich look at the relationship between Dominican nuns and secular rulers. To conclude, Rosillo Luque will explore the creation of a network of Poor Clares along the pilgrim path of St James. Together, these papers will allow a more detailed understanding of the embedding of mendicant nuns in medieval society. |
