Ceremony and Civility: Civic Culture in Late Medieval London
Hanawalt, Barbara A. (King George III Professor of British History Emerita, King George III Professor of British History Emerita, Ohio State University)
In Ceremony and Civility, Barbara Hanawalt shows how London's elected officials and elites in the late Middle Ages used ceremony and ritual to establish their legitimacy and power. In a largely immigrant population, the official appearances helped instruct the newly arrived about the power structure of the city, as did humiliating, public parades of offenders of laws through the streets.
