Abstract	The third session examines the perception and formation of medieval landscapes, political realms, and territories through the lens of outside positions and later communities. Analysing attributes and descriptions of Ireland, the first paper will show how knowledge and perception of this realm changed over the course of time. The second paper examines the 12th-century use of the past in understanding contemporary kingship. The last paper looks at how a 15th-century monastic community used the early medieval past of the region in order to establish an identity distinct (but not apart) from its neighbours.
