Political culture in
norman and Angevin England
(1066-1272)
in Comparative Perspective
This project, which is hosted by the Department of History & Welsh History at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and sponsored by the British Academy, seeks to explore the political culture of Norman and Angevin England within its broader European context. In particular, it aims to establish a comparative framework within which to trace differences as well as parallels in the way politics were conducted across the medieval West. To ensure an international perspective this project includes experts on medieval Scandinavian, German, French and Italian as well as Irish, Welsh and English history, and that of the crusader states. |
'Political culture is understood to be the sum of ideas and assumptions, procedures (formal and informal), and processes, short term actions and long term objectives by which relations between communities, groupings and individuals are conducted and evaluated.' |
