The central Middle Ages is often understood as a period when secular jurisdictions clashed not only with each other but also with their ecclesiastical counterparts, creating a legacy of jurisdictional distinctions and conflict which still resonates today.
Through the analytical lens of multi-legalism, this project re-examines the formation, interaction, and overlap of legal and governmental boundaries during this key period. The project has a dual aim of reconceptualising Europe’s multi-legal past (and how medieval litigants, lawmakers and legal commentators experienced it) for an academic audience and, through interventions in popular media outlets, of presenting this approach to a wider public.
