Cistercian Charters and the Import of a Political Culture into Medieval Sweden
(Language: English)
Erik Niblaeus, Department of History, King's College London
 
Abstract: This session will showcase new research from boundary zones of early medieval diplomatic, in several senses. Vogeler shows how boundaries of both nation and media are collapsing into the world-wide web, and demonstrates the collaborative possibilities of combined diplomatic corpora. Jarrett presents work from a political boundary, using diplomatic and palaeography to describe how a quasi-independent church of frontier Catalonia was taken over by local magnates in the guise of a monastic refoundation. Lastly, Niblaeus examines the earliest charters from Sweden, using the window of Cistercian importation to elucidate the young kingdom's ongoing integration into wider European culture.
