| Abstract | This session provides a range of perspectives on those Plantagenet estates often viewed as lying on the fringes of the royal demesne in the early 14th century. These considerations of military recruitment, trans-regional landholding, and the administration of territories emphasise that such border regions were, in reality, far from 'peripheral'. Through evidence regarding conditions, attitudes and practices in Gascony, Wales and the Marches, and the Channel Islands they also offer new perspectives on issues such as the 'military revolution', frontier societies, and the notion of a later medieval 'Plantagenet empire'. |
