Title : Threads of Authority: The Virgin's Veil in the Middle Ages [because Mary was believed to have been assumed into Heaven, there were only secondary relics of her; mostly these were items of clothing; beginning in Constantinople, these relics were associated with the protection of cities and rulers; similar uses of Marian relics and images for the protection of rulers can be found in the West at least as early as the time of Charlemagne].

Title : Marginality as Woman’s Freedom: The Case of Floripe [In Jean Bagnyon’s 1478 prose rendition of “Fierabras” (a twelfth-century poem), Floripe (the sister of Fierabras) is a rare example of a woman who lives an active life. Floripe’s magical, near-divine otherness as a Saracen princess allows her extraordinary scope of action in both the public and domestic spheres. As an outsider to Christian society, she is able to act freely, and even after her marriage to a Christian nobleman she remains in a powerful space between two societies. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
