| Abstract | The double session will ask how and for what purpose magnates, courtiers, and other participants used their power at medieval courts. Thus, the focus is on the heterogeneous environment of the rulers in order to emphasize their dependencies on their court society. In this sense, the double session deliberately aims to compare German, French, and Italian courts - secular and clerical - by taking cultural, religious, political, and gender aspects into consideration. The question to be explored is in which constellations social groups were formed in a longue durée from the 10th to the 15th century. |
