History webinar by Sciforum for Histories Webinar | Novel Insights into Naval Warfare and Diplomacy in Medieval Europe
Histories Webinar | Novel Insights into Naval Warfare and Diplomacy in Medieval Europe
Naval warfare and diplomacy in the Middle Ages have increasingly captured the attention of historians, unveiling the significance of maritime power in shaping the political, economic, and cultural development of medieval Europe and the Mediterranean. While trade, exploration, and conquest flourished through the opportunities offered by the sea, it also presented considerable challenges, including threats from pirates and rival states. Diplomacy, inseparably tied to naval strength, emerged as an essential tool for forging alliances, negotiating treaties, and resolving conflicts.This webinar is inspired by the ambition to shed new light on these fascinating topics. It will explore not only the strategies and consequences of naval conflicts but also delve deeper into the intricate networks, actors, and instruments of maritime diplomacy in the Middle Ages. The discussions will address a diverse array of themes, including the organization and functionality of medieval fleets, the role of economic resources in sustaining maritime endeavors, and the often-overlooked participation of women in naval warfare and diplomacy.With a wide-ranging focus that spans methodology, social impacts, and regional perspectives, we aim to ignite thought-provoking conversations and inspire novel research in this dynamic field. We are thrilled to have you join us as we navigate through the currents of history and uncover hidden treasures of medieval maritime studies.Event Chair: Prof. Dr. Jesús Ángel Solórzano Telechea, GOBPORT Research Group. Department of Historical Sciences, University of Cantabria, Spain.Speakers: Dr. Victòria A. Burguera-Puigserver, Center for European History and Cultural Studies (ZEGK); Ruprecht-Karls-University Heidelberg, Germany; Professor Abdeldjabar Seddiki, University Centre of Nour El Bachir, Algeria; Dr. Pablo García Fuente, Department of Historical Sciences; University of Cantabria, Spain.
