UNC-CH MEMS Event

A book colloquium discussing Jehangir Malegam’s “Sleep of Behemoth: Disputing Peace and Violence in Medieval Europe,” will be held on Friday 1/16 12-1:30. The location of the seminar is at Hyde Hall, University Room. Professor Bjorn Weiler (Aberystwyth University, Wales) will be joining for a round-table discussion of Malegam’s book that explores conflicting concepts of peace in Western Europe during the High Middle Ages (1000-1200), which Malegam ties to well known and important events such as the Peace of God, the Investiture Controversy, and the emergence of communal self-governance, among other phenomena.
