Abstract	During the Middle Ages, political borders did not isolate southern France from its Mediterranean neighbors. The sessions in this series are designed to bring the region's rich historiography out of its local context and to connect southern France to the field of Mediterranean studies. This session features speakers from France, the US, and the Low Countries/UK. Two address areas notable to southern France, but to some extent also visible in Iberia and Italy, namely shared local lordship (often two but sometimes three or four 'co-lords' of particular localities), and the communal governance of towns and cities. The third addresses the political implications of the Papal Schism in a mediterranean context. Each paper focuses on specifically southern French phenomena, but geared toward analytical discussion within a wider setting.
