Description
This
volume is based on two international conferences held in 2013 and 2014 at
Ariano Irpino, and at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. It contains essays by
leading scholars in the field. Like the conferences, the volume seeks to
enhance interdisciplinary and international dialogue between those who work on
the Normans and their conquests in northern and southern Europe in
an original way. It has as its central theme issues related to cultural
transfer, treated as being of a pan-European kind across the
societies that the Normans conquered and as occurring within the distinct societies
of the northern and southern conquests. These issues are also shown to be an aspect of the interaction between
the Normans and the peoples they subjugated, among whom many then settled.
