The life and cult of Edward the Confessor are here fully
reappraised. The millennium of Edward the Confessor's birth
presents an appropriate occasion for a full-scale, up-to-date
reassessment of his life, reign and cult, a reappraisal which is
provided in the essays here. After an introduction to the many
views of Edward's life, and a reinterpretation of the development
of his cult, the volume considers his childhood in England and its
influence upon his later life; the time he spent in Normandy and
the relationships that developed there; and his later life,
including an examination of the role played by Edith, his queen.
There is also a particular focus upon Westminster Abbey, and the
major new discoveries which have recently been made there.
Incorporating both broad surveys and the fruits of detailed new
work, this book is essential reading for all those interested in
late Saxon and Norman England. CONTRIBUTORS: RICHARD MORTIMER,
SIMON KEYNES, ELISABETH VAN HOUTS,STEPHEN BAXTER, PAULINE STAFFORD,
