First full examination of why and how certain locations were chosen
for opposition to power, and the meaning they conveyed. The direct
contestation of power played a crucial role in early medieval
politics. Such actions, often expressed through violence, reveal
much about established authorities, power and lordship. Here the
hitherto neglected role of place and landscape in acts of
opposition and rebellion is explored for its meaning and
significance to the protagonists. The book includes consideration
of a range of factors relevant to the choice of location for such
events, and examines the declarations and motivations of political
actors, from disaffected princes to independently minded nobles, as
well as those who responded to rebellion, to show how places and
landscapes became used in political disputes. These include both
"public" and "private", religious, urban and rural space. Covering
a long period in England and northern France, from the late
Carolingian period through to the emergence of cross-Channel
polities in the aftermath of the Norman Conquest, this book casts
valuable light on the political relations of the early and central
Middle Ages.
