The most recent research into the Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Norman, and
Angevin worlds. Embracing disciplinary approaches ranging from the
archaeological to the historical, the sociological to the literary,
this collection offers new insights into key texts and interpretive
problems in the history of England and thecontinent between the
eighth and thirteenth centuries. Topics range from Bede's use and
revision of the anonymous Life of St Cuthbert and the redeployment
of patristic texts in later continental and Anglo-Saxon ascetic
andhagiographical texts, to Robert Curthose's interaction with the
Norman episcopate and the revival of Roman legal studies, to the
dynamics of aristocratic friendship in the Anglo-Norman realm, and
much more. The volume also includes two methodologically rich
studies of vital aspects of the historical landscape of medieval
England: rivers and forests. William North teaches in the
Department of History, Carleton College. Contributors: Richard
