This volume explores overarching topics such as burials, commemorations, revenants, mourning practices and funerals, capital punishment, suspiscious death, and death registrations using case studies from across Europe including England, Iceland, and Spain. Together these chapters discuss how death was ritualised and choreographed, but also how it was expressed in writing throughout various documentary sources including wills and death registries. In each instance, records are analysed through a cultural framework to better understand the importance of the authors of death and their audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing together and building upon the latest scholarship, this book is essential reading for all students and academics of death in the medieval period. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoëlle Rollo-Koster \u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor of Medieval History at the University of Rhode Island.
