| Abstract | Historians have long struggled with the question of what bound medieval society together. The concept of allegiance permeates current scholarship and understandings of the Middle Ages, yet it has been under-discussed in its own right as a bond, emotion, asset, identity, duty or potential dilemma. This session will rectify this by exploring allegiance within national frameworks and public display. This theme will be explored in the context of the Anglo-Scottish wars of the fourteenth century, the livery and traditions of Robin Hood, and the civic entries of Henry V and Henry VI. |
