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.
