The layout, fabric and decoration of their palaces, both in the surviving remains and as reconstructed by archaeologists and art historians, provide a revealing and gripping commentary on the workings of rulership and the power of place over more than 800 years.
We will encounter the greatest Roman tetrarch in Trier an imperial power couple in Constantinople a formidable Dark Age king in Yeavering a Frankish war leader of genius in Aachen an Umayyad Caliph in Madīnat al-Zahrā and a Norman duke-king in Palermo. These six talks will explore the fortunes of six different rulers within the context of their palaces between the Late Roman Empire and the Age of Crusades. But there is more to the history of the palace and the operation of autocratic power than these well-known classical and early modern examples. Modern understanding of royal households, courts and courtly culture is very much dominated by the political drama of the Palatine complex, Hampton Court and Versailles.
