The research group for the History of the Middle Ages explores the western Middle Ages from a viewpoint of continuity between the Middle Ages and Late Antiquity, on the one hand, and the Early Modern period, on the other. Our research focuses on church, city and society and on their interaction. The geographical scope of the research unit covers the Southern Low Countries in a comparative European context. We attach great importance to auxiliary sciences, historical methodology and social theory.
