| Abstract | This session is part of Networking Medieval Monarchy strand. Networking Medieval Monarchy III focuses on the ways in which monarchs and royal family members networked within the realm in order to exert influence and exercise authority. The papers in this session bring together three very different settings: 6th-century Austrasia, 9th- and 10th-century Wiltshire and Bohemia in the 14th and 15th centuries. All three papers look at royal networks across space and place and networking between the royal family and the nobility to increase our understanding of the workings of medieval monarchy. |
