This volume collects studies on the role of monastic institutions in the exchange
of cultural and socio-economic capital in the medieval diocese of Liège. During the
high Middle Ages, the bishopric of Liège found itself at a cultural crossroads between
the German Empire and the French lordships. The Liègeois themselves summed up the
situation when they declared that: 'Gaul considers us its most distant inhabitants,
Germany as nearby citizens. In fact we are neither, but both at the same time'. This
same complexity is also echoed by present-day historians, who have described Liège
as a hub of interactions between two great civilisations. Medieval monastic communities
in Liège were key sites of this exchange, actively participating in the cultural developments,
social networks, and political structures of both regions. 0Bringing together the
work of international scholars, this collection of essays addresses the problem of
monastic identity and its formation in a region that was geographically wedged between
two major competing socio-political powers. It investigates how monastic communities
negotiated the uncertainties of this situation, while also capitalizing on the opportunities
it presented. As such, this book sheds light on the agency of monastic identity formation
in a small but complex region caught at the crossroads of two major powers
