The essays in this volume derive in the main, though not
exclusively, from the 13th annual conference held in Houston in
November 1994. Written by an international group of scholars, they
centre on the history of England and its neighbours during the
Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Anglo-Norman and Angevin periods. Of
particular interest is a wide-ranging and well-illustrated article
on medieval bridges; other topics include the Anglo-Norman patrons
of Bury St Edmunds, Anglo-Welsh relations before 1066, the legal
status of the Britons in seventh-century Wessex, and the Hundred
Rolls. There is also a particular focus on the roles played by
women, with articles on Henry I's queen Adeliza of Louvain, and the
Anglo-Norman countesses of Chester.Dr C.P. LEWIS teaches in the
Department of History at the University of Liverpool; Dr EMMA
COWNIE teaches in the Department of History, King's College,
