The most recent cutting-edge scholarship on the tenth, eleventh and
twelfth centuries. The essays collected here demonstrate the rich
vitality of scholarship in this area. This volume has a particular
focus on the interrelations between the various parts of
north-western Europe. After the opening piece on Lotharingia, there
are detailed studies of the relationship between Ponthieu and its
Norman neighbours, and between the Norman and Angevin duke-kings
and the other French nobility, followed by an investigation of the
world of demons and possession in Norman Italy, with additional
observations on the subject in twelfth-century England. Meanwhile,
the York massacre of the Jews in 1190 is set in a wider context,
showing the extent to which crusader enthusiasm led to the pogroms
that so marred Anglo-Jewish relations, not just in York but
elsewhere in England; and there is an exploration of poverty in
London, also during the 1190s, viewed through the prism of the life
and execution of William fitz Osbert. Another chapter demonstrates
the power of comparative history to illuminate the norms of
proprietary queenship, so often overlooked by historians of both
kingship and queenship. And two essays focusing on landscape bring
the physical into close association with the historical: on the
equine landscape of eleventh and twelfth-century England, adding
substantially to our understanding of the place of the horse in
late Anglo-Saxon and early Anglo-Norman societies, and on the Brut
narratives of Geoffrey of Monmouth, Wace, and Lazamon, arguing that
they use realistic landscapes in their depiction of the action
embedded in their tales, so demonstrating the authors' grasp of the
practical realities of contemporary warfare and the role played by
landscapes in it.
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:

This book offers the first comprehensive history of the order of
Tiron. As a unique survey of the Tironensian experience it sheds
new light on traditional assumptions of twelfth-century monastic
history. Previous sketches have been shaped by the life of the
founder, the Vita Bernardi, which depicts the forests of western
France teeming with holy men, and that self-image of hermit
preachers in the wilderness has been deeply influential in the
historiography of twelfth-century reform. Drawing from the latest
advances in the understanding of hagiography and institutional
memory, Thompson reinterprets key sources to offer a valuable
contribution to the history of monasticism. She outlines the rapid
dissemination of the Tironensian approach in the first thirty years
of its existence, its network of contacts with the lay elite and
the impact on the Tironensians of the successes of the Cistercians
and Mendicants.
The emergence of the northern French county of the Perche, and the
rise of the Rotrou family from obscure origins to princely power,
11-13c. This is the first modern account of the emergence of the
northern French county of the Perche, and the rise of a relatively
minor noble family from obscure origins to princely power. The
Rotrou family ruled the Perche from aroundthe year 1000 until 1226.
They took part in many of the most famous military engagements of
the middle ages, from the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 to the
recovery of territory from the Muslims in twelfth-century Spain.
Theirinvolvement in crusading initiatives was told in the popular
poetry of the day, and they came to number the kings of France,
England, Aragon and Sicily, as well as the Holy Roman Emperor,
among their kinsmen. This narrativeexplains the family's
transformation and consolidation of its position in the context of
a vibrant and expanding society in the years after 1000, looking at
their territorial ambitions, construction of a feudal clientele and
operation of lordship through female family. Dr KATHLEEN THOMPSON
