Building on Simon Barton’s influential scholarship, while promoting new multidisciplinary directions in Medieval Iberian, Mediterranean and European Studies, this volume examines ‘plural’ historical narratives, processes of identity-making, and individual experiences within Iberian local and translocal economic, socio-political and cultural networks.

Antonella Liuzzo Scorpo, Ph.D. (2009), University of Exeter, is Associate Professor of Medieval History at the University of Lincoln, and President of the Society for the Medieval Mediterranean. Her publications on medieval Iberian social and cultural history include Friendship in Medieval Iberia (Ashgate 2014, Routledge 2020).
