This conference brings together researchers from the US, Europe and Israel to reinterpret the events, context and memory of 1190. It will explore relationships between Jewish and Christian communities, and between local communities and royal government, in the late twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It thus aims to consider 1190 as central to the narrative of English history in the decades around 1200, as well as that of Jewish history. It will also address the memory of 1190 and its continuing relevance today. Speakers include Anna Abulafia, Jeffrey Cohen, Paul Hyams, Robert Stacey, and Nicholas Vincent.
