Organized Session Proposal: "English Archbishops in Exile: 1097 - 1170"

The special thematic strand of next year's International Medieval Congress is exile. I would like to contribute to this theme by organizing a session on English archbishops in exile from 1097 - 1170, a period that opens with Anselm's first exile and ends with Becket's return to England and subsequent death. Papers may focus on a particular archbishop or take a comparative approach, looking at the circumstances of exile for two or more men. The geographical parameter is open and can accommodate papers that focus on events that occurred either in England or on the continent. Submissions are welcome from any relevant discipline. If you are interested in participating in this session, please e-mail me an abstract at dmhayes@iona.edu. The deadline for submission in October 14, 2001.
