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,

No single recent enterprise has done more to enlarge and deepen our
understanding of one of the most critical periods in English
history. ANTIQUARIES JOURNAL Anglo-Norman Studies, published
annually and containing the papers presented at the Battle
conference, is established as the single most important publication
in the field, 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; it celebrates its twenty-first anniversary
with this volume. This year there is an emphasis on the examination
of sources: translation-narratives, the Life of Hereward, the Book
of Llandaf, a Mont Saint Michel cartulary, Benoit de Sainte-Maure
and Roger of Howden. Secular topics include Anglo-Flemish relations
and the origins of an important family; ecclesiastical matters
considered are the Breton church in the late eleventh century,
William Rufus's monastic policy, the patrons of the great abbey of
Bec, and, for the first time in this series, the life of St Thomas
of Canterbury.
