In context of the late medieval state centralisation, the political
autonomy of the towns of the Low Counties, Northern France and the
Swiss Confederation was threatened by tensions with higher levels
of power. Within this conflict both rulers and towns employed
symbolic means of communication to legitimise their power position.
The authors of Symbolic Communication in Late Medieval Towns
explore how new layers of meaning were attached to well-known
traditions and how these new rituals were perceived. They study the
public encounters between rulers and towns, as well as the use of
rituals to express the political and religious relations between
the various social groups within the town.
