The article discusses local conflicts involving burial rights in Hereford, England from the late 13th to the 15th centuries to gain insight into the formation of personal and collective identity in the late Middle Ages. The source of conflict was the requirement that residents of Hereford and surrounding villages bury their dead in the local cathedral cemetery, and pay mortuary dues and burial fees to the cathedral church, placing a logistical and financial burden on parochial clergy and villagers. |
