New insights into key texts and interpretive problems in the
history of England and Europe between the eighth and thirteenth
centuries. This volume of the Haskins Society Journal demonstrates
the Society's continued interest in a broad range of geographical
contexts and methodological approaches to medieval history.
Chapters include a much-needed reassessment of AElfthryth and her
place in the society and governance of tenth-century England, as
well as a comprehensive survey of the conceptualization of
excommunication in post-Carolingian Europe to c.1200. Further
essays explore aspects of the Norman world of southern Italy,
including the dynamics of political coalitions and kinship
networks, ethnic identity, and material culture. The Journal
continues to highlight close analyses of key primary sources,with a
study of Angevin kingship in the writings of Hugh of Lincoln and
Adam of Eynsham, and an examination of Ralph of Niger's Old
Testament exegesis and criticism of crusading in the late twelfth
century. A ground-breaking newstudy assesses the utility of
colonialism as a valid model for understanding the extraction of
sacred resources and relics from the crusader lands. The volume
closes with a crucial reconsideration of the agency and power of
medieval French peasants as attested in medieval cartularies,
opening new approaches for further research into this critical and
complex social group.
The most recent research into the Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Norman, and
Angevin worlds. The essays here consider a broad range of topics
drawn from the early to central Middle Ages. These include a
fascinating glimpse of the controversy surrounding Theodoric of
Ostrogoth's identity as a builder king; evidence of Byzantine
slavery that emerges from a ninth-century Frankish exegetical
tract; conciliar prohibitions against interfaith dining; and a
fresh look at the doomed Danish marriage of Philip II of France.
The Journal's commitment tosource analysis is continued with
chapters examining female authority on the coins of Henry the Lion;
the use and meaning of monastic depredation lists; and the
relationship between Henry of Huntingdon and Robert of Torigni.
Finally, the volume offers a truly rich set of explorations of the
political and historiographical dynamics between England and Wales
from the tenth century through the late Middle Ages. This volume
also contains the Henry Loyn Memorial Lecture for 2008.

This volume continues the Society's commitment to historical and
interdisciplinary research from the early and central Middle Ages,
demonstrating its belief that the close interrogation of primary
documents yield new insights or important revisions into our
understanding of the past. Volume 33 of the Haskins Society Journal
continues the Society's commitment to historical and
interdisciplinary research from the early and central Middle Ages
and demonstrates its belief that the close interrogation of primary
documents yield new insights or important revisions into our
understanding of the past. After an investigation of the role of
Anglo-Saxon bishops in the provision of coastal defense, the
subsequent articles explore different dimensions of the
Anglo-Norman period: the place of sex at the royal court, the
penitential sensibilities of Anglo-Norman prelates and their
geographical expression, the complexity of using Anglo-Norman land
surveys as evidence for the nature of and changes in peasant labor
and obligations, and the office of sheriff and its place in the
developing common law. The Denis Bethell Prize winning essay,
through its close analysis of Denis Piramus' French translation of
the Life of Edmund, king of England, explores the role of
translated texts in the formation of Anglo-Norman elite identity.
Essays on Queen Ingeborg of Denmark's conception and expression of
her role as a Capetian queen. and on the use and meaning of direct
and metaphorical references to art and artists in French sermons in
the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, round out the volume.

Fruits of the most recent research on the worlds of the eleventh
and twelfth centuries. The essays collected here embody the Haskins
Society's commitment to historical and interdisciplinary research
on the early and central Middle Ages, especially in the
Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Norman, and Angevin worlds, but also on
thecontinent. Their topics range from the discovery of Bede's use
of catechesis to educate readers on conversion, the discovery of an
early eleventh-century Viking mass burial, and historical
interpretations of Eadric Streona, to the development of monastic
liturgy at Durham Cathedral, the Franco-centricity of Latin
accounts of the First Crusade, and an investigation of Gerald of
Wales' rarely considered Speculum duorum virorum. Contributions on
the charters of the countesses of Ponthieu and Blanche of Navarre's
role in military dimensions of governance explore the nature and
mechanisms of female lordship on the continent, while others
investigate the nature of kingship through close readings,
respectively, of John of Worcester and William of Malmesbury and
the Vie de Saint Gilles; a further chapter considers the changing
image of William the Conqueror in nineteenth- and early
twentieth-century French historiography. Finally, a study of Serlo
of Bayeux's defense of clerical marriage, along with a critical
edition and facing translation of his poem The Capture of Bayeux
offers readers new insights and access tothis often overlooked
witness to Norman history in the early twelfth century.

New insights into interpretive problems in the history of England
and Europe between the eighth and thirteenth centuries. The
articles in this volume of the Haskins Society Journal take the
reader from early England to the thirteenth century, from Europe to
the Holy Land. Chapters explore issues of Anglo-Saxon social status
and settlement andpeasant agency in the France of King Louis IX;
while, through a careful re-examination of documentary and
narrative evidence, further articles offer new insights into
succession crises in England and the Principality of Antioch, with
special attention to the role of women in the assumption of
political power and its narration. The record and moral horizons of
both First and Fourth Crusaders also receive close attention; and
finally, a survey of the construction of the Norman past in the
French Chronique de Normandie rounds out the collection.

Fruits of the most recent research on the worlds of the eleventh
and twelfth centuries. This volume of the Haskins Society Journal
furthers the Society's commitment to historical and
interdisciplinary research on the early and central Middle Ages,
focusing on the Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Norman, and Angevin worlds.The
topics of the essays range from the complexities of landholding and
service in England after the Norman Conquest and the place of
Portugal in the legal renaissance of the twelfth century, to the
purpose and audiences of copiesof Anglo-Saxon charters produced by
the late medieval community at Bury St Edmunds. There is an
investigation of the hitherto overlooked narrative role of material
objects in Orderic Vitalis'History, continuing the Journal's
investigation of source-specific analyses, together with an
exploration of the date and reliability of an important, but
neglected, witness to the Norman conquest of Sicily. Other essays
look at the longue duree of the ascetic practice of
self-flagellation and its emergence in eleventh-century Italy; the
place and meaning of religious practices in crusading, using the De
expugnatione Lyxbonensi as laboratory; and aural and visual
experience in the life and musical opus of Godric of Finchale.

The most up-to-date research in the period from the Anglo-Saxons to
Angevins. This volume of the Haskins Society Journal furthers the
Society's commitment to historical and interdisciplinary research
on the early and central Middle Ages, especially in the
Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Norman, and Angevin worldsbut also on the
continent. The topics of the essays it contains range from the
curious place of Francia in the historiography of medieval Europe
to strategies of royal land distribution in tenth-century
Anglo-Saxon England to the representation of men and masculinity in
the works of Anglo-Norman historians. Essays on the place of
polemical literature in Frutolf of Michelsberg's Chronicle,
exploration of the relationship between chivalryand crusading in
Baudry of Bourgeuil's History, and Cosmas of Prague's manipulation
of historical memory in the service of ecclesiastical privilege and
priority each extend the volume's engagement with medieval
historiography, employing rich continental examples to do so.
Investigations of comital personnel in Anjou and Henry II's
management of royal forests and his foresters shed new light on the
evolving nature of secular governance in the twelfth centuries and
challenge and refine important aspects of our view of medieval rule
in this period. The volume ends with a wide-ranging reflection on
the continuing importance of the art object itself in medieval
history and visual studies. Contributors: H.F. Doherty, Kathryn
