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.
Contributors: Angela Boyle, Marcus Bull, Philippa Byrne, Jay Paul Gates, Véronique Gazeau, Wendy Marie Hoofnagle, Elizabeth van Houts, Kathy M. Krause, Charlie Rozier, Katrin E. Sjursen, Carolyn Twomey, Emily A. Winkler
