While visual cultures mingled comfortably along the silk roads and on the shores of the Mediterranean, medieval England has sometimes been viewed as isolated. In this Element the author introduces new evidence to show that this understanding of medieval England's visual relationship to the rest of the world demands revision.
While visual cultures mingled comfortably along the silk roads and on the shores of the Mediterranean, medieval England has sometimes been viewed – by both medieval and more recent writers – as isolated. In this Element the author introduces new evidence to show that this understanding of medieval England's visual relationship to the rest of the world demands revision. An international team led by the author has completed a digital reconstruction of the so-called Chertsey combat tiles (sophisticated pictorial floor tiles made c. 1250, England), including both images and lost Latin texts. Grounded in the discoveries made while completing this reconstruction, the author proposes new conclusions regarding the historical circumstances within which the Chertsey tiles were commissioned and their significant connections with global textile traditions.

Introduction; 1. The Reconstructed Program: Battles in the Holy Land; 2. A Learned, Literary Composition in Latin; 3. Findspots: Chertsey Abbey and Winchester Cathedral; 4. Commission: Westminster Palace; 5. Combats in Medallions: Cross-cultural Tiles & Textiles; Conclusion: Carpets, Clay, and 'Eastern Lords'; Appendix.
