Abstract | Three linked sessions and a round table explore the somewhat neglected topic of loyalty in the Middle Ages. They follow from sessions in 2020 and 2021. The wider project aims to expand the ways of understanding medieval loyalty beyond the loyalties of men and lords or subjects and kings. These sessions for 2023 focus on loyalty as a form of entanglement. Session III is about how human entanglements with objects can be revealing of loyalties. Two of the papers are about coins, and how their design, circulation, and use reflects systems and links of loyalty. The third considers how loyalties were manifested when campsites were pitched or tents shared. |
