Aspects of the reign of King Henry re-examined, from royal
biography to administrative history. It is a testament to C. Warren
Hollister's ongoing influence that the reign of Henry I, until his
work on the period relatively neglected, is now a vibrant field of
inquiry - to which this collection, a special volume of the Haskins
Society Journal dedicated to his memory, makes a significant
contribution. Its distinguished contributors, many former Hollister
students, cover a wide range of areas: royal biography; political
history, including Church-Staterelations and relations with
neighbors such as Maine and Ireland as well as the English people
Henry ruled; administrative history, including fiscal management;
and prosopography, especially of the major developments in the
Anglo-Norman aristocracy under Henry's reign. This volume thus
continues and extends Hollister's scholarly legacy. Contributors:

An examination into two of the most important activities undertaken
by the Normans. The reputation of the Normans is rooted in warfare,
faith and mobility. They were simultaneously famed as warriors,
noted for their religious devotion, and celebrated as fearless
travellers. In the Middle Ages few activities offered a better
conduit to combine warfare, religiosity, and movement than
crusading and pilgrimage. However, while scholarship is abundant on
many facets of the Norman world, it is a surprise that the Norman
relationship with crusading and pilgrimage, so central in many ways
to Norman identity, has hitherto not received extensive treatment.
The collection here seeks to fill this gap. It aims to identify
what was unique or different about the Normans andtheir
relationship with crusading and pilgrimage, as well as how and why
crusade and pilgrimage were important to the Normans. Particular
focus is given to Norman participation in the First Crusade, to
Norman interaction in latercrusading initiatives, to the
significance of pilgrimage in diverse parts of the Norman world,
and finally to the ways in which crusading and pilgrimage were
recorded in Norman narrative. Ultimately, this volume aims to
assess, insome cases to confirm, and in others to revise the
established paradigm of the Normans as crusaders par excellence and
as opportunists who used religion to serve other agendas. Dr
KATHRYN HURLOCK is Senior Lecturer in Medieval History at
Manchester Metropolitan University; Dr PAUL OLDFIELD is Senior
Lecturer in Medieval History at the University of Manchester.

The Anglo-Norman world, with particular focus on the Normans in
Ireland. Founded by Professor R. Allen Brown, the Battle Conference
this year celebrates its 20th meeting in Dublin with a particular
focus on Irish topics. Anglo-Norman Studies, published annually and
containing the papers presented at the conference, is established
as the single most important publication in the field (as a glance
at bibliographies of the period will confirm), covering not only
matters relating to pre- and post-Conquest England and France,but
also the activities and influences of the Normans on the wider
European, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern stage.
