In the later Middle Ages a European 'core' of culturally and
administratively sophisticated societies with rapidly growing
populations, on an axis from England to Italy, colonised the
European 'periphery'. In northern Europe this periphery included
Wales and Ireland, as colonised by the English, and Prussia and
Livonia, as colonised (mainly) by Germanic and Nordic peoples. A
key tool of colonisation was the chartered town, giving citizens
distinguishing legal privileges and a degree of self-regulation.
Towns on the Edge in Medieval Europe contends that while the
chartered town, as a legal and social-political concept, was
transferred to peripheral areas by colonisers, its implementation
and adaptation in peripheral areas resulted in unique societies,
not simply the replication of core urban forms and communities. In
so doing, it compares the development of social and political
institutions in the chartered towns of medieval Ireland, Wales,
Prussia, and Livonia. Research themes include community formation,
normalisation/social disciplining, and peace making/keeping.
