Exile in the Middle Ages took many
different forms. As a literary theme it has received much scholarly
attention in the Latin, Greek and vernacular traditions. The historical
and legal phenomenon of exile is relatively unexplored territory. In
the secular world, it usually meant banishment of a person by a higher
authority for political reasons, resulting in the exile leaving home
for a shorter or longer period. Sometimes an exile did not wait to be
expelled but left of his or her own accord. Leaving home to go on
pilgrimage, or, in the case of women to marry could be experienced as a
form of exile. In the ecclesiastical sphere, two forms of exile stand
out. Monasticism was often seen as a form of spiritual (permanent)
exile from the secular world. Excommunication was a punishment
exercised by the Church authorities in order to eject persons (often
only temporarily) from the community of Christians. Banishment as a
form of social punishment is therefore the central theme of this volume
on Exile in the Middle Ages. The book covers the period of the central
Middle Ages from ca. 900 to ca. 1300 in Western Europe, though some
chapters have a wider remit. The genesis of the volume was a series of
presentations delivered at the Leeds International Medieval Congress in
2002, which was devoted to the theme of Exile.
