“Mappings” at Leeds
For the International Medieval Congress at Leeds 2011 five Sessions/ Round Tables have been organized under the rubric 'Mappings' that the organizers hope will become a regular feature of the conference and, in so doing, advance the study of the history of cartography and space. At the same time, mapping medieval Europe has also been, for some time now, an idea pursued at the CARMEN meetings in order to create a European network on spatial and map-studies. We hope to create synergetic effects by exchanges about the actual contents of our works and the possible contents of an application.

Objectives: the present project (FCT PTDC/HIS-HIS/102956/2008) comprises a study of two Portuguese Commanderies in Alentejo (Noudar and Marmelar) contemplating the historic evolution, the artistic and architectural heritage; a publication is planned.
Context: The choice of these Commanderies (one of the Order of Avis and the other of the Order of St. John) can be explained by their different emblematic role: if Noudar is a land of frontier directly related to... Read more
