Thesis title: Two crowns, One King: Approaches to the composite monarchy of England and France and its Implications

Supervisors: 

Period:

Pre-1500

Thesis abstract:

My project is questioning the narrative of singular identity and singular loyalty in histories of state formation and national consciousness, using the dual monarchy of England and France in the fifteenth century as a focal point. By exploring these models of exclusivity and the boundaries of people, places, and principles, we may revaluate the praxis of ‘doing loyalty’ as pluralistic, and this study will provide a fresh outlook on the structures of power, agency, and participation in kingship and commonwealth.
