  • Summary

    This chapter investigates the way in which classical ideas about generosity influenced the actual performance of ritual. It focuses on a register surviving from the court of Henry III of England (r. 1216-72) detailing the gifts received and given away by the king. In order to expound the meanings contemporaries may have attributed to the king’s treatment of gifts, the chapter explores ideas about gifts, authority and kingship in classical and medieval writings.
