“A Bloody Maelstrom”
This article investigates the Norwegian Civil Wars between 1130 and 1240. Recent research, developing the so-called “legal anthropological turn”, has suggested that the wars only led to very limited destruction and featured little radical othering of the opposition. This article, however, argues that a closer investigation of the sources offers a very different picture of the wars. The article examines first the political language of the period, …
The Sources and the Civil Wars
Power, Propaganda, and Medieval Historiography
In dialogue
This essay examines responses to papal communication in Latin Christendom principally between the years 1100 and 1400. It introduces seven multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary articles in a special issue of the Journal of Medieval History on this topic, while also exploring further examples that reveal the range of responses to papal communication and the significance of these responses. It emphasises the ways in which papal communication was …
Difficult gifts
This article explores how gifts, and stories about gifts, to and from the popes were treated and discussed in twelfth- and thirteenth-century England. The first part explores the intellectual context in which these stories were written, namely scriptural and classical ideas about the gift that circulated in the period, and the practical challenges faced by the papacy. The second part explores how English clerks and aristocrats utilised these gift…

All that is old is new again
The close collaboration between researchers of the Institute of Cross-cultural and Regional Studies, the Copenhagen University Library (KUB) of the Royal Danish Library, and members of the Rigsters 3D Scanning team in the private sector has led to highly productive interchange and applications of some of the most recent photogrammetric modelling, especially with applications to archaeology, cultural heritage and epigraphy. In this paper, we highl…
Urbanization in Viking Age and Medieval Denmark
This is an ambitious and attractive study by Maria R.D. Corsi exploring the growth of towns in the lands that became the kingdom of Denmark from c.500 to c.1350. This period saw dramatic change: Denmark had never been part of the Roman Empire and had no domestic urban tradition. In the Middle Ages, however, a combination of developing trade networks, the introduction of Christianity (with its preference for cities as sites for ecclesiastical gove…
Conquests, family traditions and the First Crusade
This article investigates the family backgrounds of aristocratic participants in the First Crusade. Through an examination of these it explores the ways in which their decision to join the crusade was influenced by the examples of the previous generation of conquerors, the participants in the invasion of Sicily in 1061, the expeditions to England in 1066 and the conflicts on the Iberian peninsula. In this way it opens a discussion about the motiv…

Food, drink and ritualised communication in the household of Eleanor de Montfort, February to August 1265
This article investigates the use of feasts and gifts of food in the household of Eleanor de Montfort between February and August 1265. In his influential The dangers of ritual, Philippe Buc argued, through a study of early medieval chronicles, that rituals in medieval Europe were regularly targets for disruption and aggressive manipulation either in practice or in the texts reporting the rituals. This article tests Buc's thesis against administr…
Feasts and gifts
This essay introduces a special issue of the Journal of Medieval History on feasting and gifts of food from the early middle ages through to the early modern period. It discusses the tensions between hierarchy and community, largesse and luxury in the feast, and the continued importance of communal eating throughout the medieval period
