As the title suggest, the third Marrying Cultures workshop focused on those dynastic marriages which ran into difficulties of various kinds and examined a wide range of cases in order to determine what caused these frictions and failures. It also extended the geographical range of the territories discussed by the project hitherto. Where the second workshop in Oxford made Britain on the Western fringe of Europe one of its foci, this workshop concerned itself not just with Poland but with Hungary, Lithuania, Muscovy, Russia and the Ottoman court. This was particularly valuable in bringing Orthodox and Muslim consorts into the discussion, as well as the elective monarchy of Poland, in which the role of the consort is by definition different from that of a consort in a system of dynastic succession.
