The Medieval Low Countries (MLC) is a peer-reviewed journal featuring articles on the Low Countries (viewed in its broadest sense as the estuaries of Scheldt, Meuse, Rhine and IJssel with their corresponding hinterlands), from the start of the fifth century to the second half of the sixteenth century. During these centuries, this region was one of the major centers of economic, cultural, religious and social development in Europe. By publishing the best of new scholarship concerning the region over the course of the Middle Ages, The Medieval Low Countries makes these achievements more visible and highlights the connections between changes in each domain. At the same time, the journal provides a forum for exchange and cooperation between established and upcoming scholars in several disciplines, whether in Europe, the United States, or beyond.
