A very interesting discussion of the distinction between public and private
spaces in medieval court societies. My own understanding of medieval courts
was crippled for years because of the notion that court was an event and not
an institution. I've come to realize that court is not what goes on at
court; the court is composed of those people who assist a king, a nobleman,
or a judge, in performing his or her duties.

Pax et bonum,

Detlef von Marburg

and what does the LORD require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
