Michael Frost:

In this seminar I will present the provisional findings from my ongoing research project, in which I examine how the characteristics and career paths of mediaeval bishops varied across the seven dioceses of the Swedish ecclesiastical province, how they developed over the course of the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, and how these patterns reflect the broader political and social context of late mediaeval Sweden." Let me know if that requires expansion or if you need any more information.

Chair: Martin Berntson.
The seminar will be held in English.
