The relations between medieval East Anglia and countries across the
North Sea examined from a variety of perspectives. East Anglia was
a distinctive English region during the Middle Ages, but it was one
that owed much of its character and identity to its place in a much
wider "North Sea World" that stretched from the English Channel to
Iceland, the Baltic and beyond. Relations between East Anglia and
its maritime neighbours have for the most part been peaceful,
involving migration and commercial, artistic, architectural and
religious exchanges, but have also at times beencharacterised by
violence and contestation. All these elements have played a
significant role in processes of historical change that have shaped
the history both of East Anglia and its North Sea world. This
collection of essays discusses East Anglia in the context of this
maritime framework and explores the extent to which there was a
distinctive community bound together by the shared frontier of the
North Sea during the Middle Ages. It brings together the work of a
range of international scholars and includes contributions from the
disciplines of history, archaeology, art history and literary
studies. David Bates is Professorial Fellow in History at the
Universityof East Anglia, Robert Liddiard is Professor of History
at the University of East Anglia. Contributors: Anna Agnarsdottir,
