The Battle Conference celebrated its quarter-centenary in 2002 in
Glasgow, and this volume, while ranging from Norman Sicily to
Scandinavia, has a particular focus on Scottish themes. There are
six papers on aspects of Scottish history from the eleventh to the
early thirteenth century: on kings and their followers, on the
building of burghs, and on the border abbey churches. Charters
(Norman, Anglo-Norman and Scottish) represent another focus. In
additionto papers discussing problems of authenticity and the
implications of forgery, several others use charter evidence to
shed new light on royal and aristocratic values and on critical
periods in the history of William the Conquerorand the Marshal
earls. Three papers take a comparative look at past and present
interpretations of law and law codes in England, Scotland and
Scandinavia; two investigate contemporary historians' perceptions
of the Jews and Byzantium.Contributors: MICHAEL ANGOLD, G.W.S.
