K&Q13 Draft Programme

​

The Royal Studies Network is delighted to present the draft programme of the thirteenth annual Kings & Queens conference: Gift-giving and Communication Networks. The 2024 conference is conceived to mark the fifth centenary of the death of Queen Claude de France (1499-1524). It will be hosted at The American University of Paris for the first two days (May 27-28). 

​

Please note that this is a draft programme and subject to change but it gives you a preview of the action packed conference coming your way this May! We had a very strong response to the call for papers which means we will have two intensive days packed with exciting papers from our colleagues in the field at the American University of Paris on 27-28 May. This will followed on the 29th by a day of papers at Châteaudun focused on Claude de France, whose 500th anniversary falls in 2024. At the end of the day we move on to Tours and 30 May, delegates will have the option of visiting a special exhibition "Le sceptre et la quenouille. Etre femme entre Moyen Age et Renaissance".
