Carolingian After-Images
Hariulf's History of St Riquier is usually consulted for detail on liturgical, architectural and political history, but is rarely considered in its entirety. It was written in the changing and competitive world of the late eleventh century, when there were challenges for established communities, both in terms of innovative approaches to monasticism and the emergence of new political entities and potential patrons. In the past that Hariulf creates…
War Is All Hell

M ark H agger . Norman Rule in Normandy, 911–1144
Normandy casts a long shadow in Anglophone historiography. From the research of Francis Palgrave and Thomas Stapleton to more recent historians Charles Homer Haskins, David Douglas, Marjorie Chibnall, and David Bates, the history of the homeland of England’s conquerors has been the subject of intensive study. The latest in this long line is Mark Hagger, who bravely offers a synthesis of all that has gone before on a much broader timescale than Da…
Theodore Evergates. Henry the Liberal
If the British queen Victoria (r. 1837–1901) was the grandmother of nineteenth-century European royalty, then Henry I the Liberal was the uncle of twelfth-century Western Christendom. He was the great-grandson of William the Conqueror; nephew of King Stephen and Bishop Henry of Winchester; son-in-law of King Louis VII of France and Eleanor of Aquitaine; brother of French queen Adela, the counts of Blois and Sancerre, and Archbishop William of Rei…

Reconsidering the Empress Matilda's act for Andwell
An act of the empress Matilda, preserved among the archives of Winchester College, records a small grant of land at Eastrop (Hampshire) to the Tironensian priory of Andwell. Recent historians have dated it to the years before the death of the empress's father, Henry I, in 1135. When considered in the light of Archbishop Theobald of Canterbury's confirmation to Andwell, it is clear that the benefaction was made during the period when the empress n…
Imagining the Sacred Past
The Other Saint Bernard
Geoffrey Grossus' lengthy life of Bernard of Abbeville leaves unanswered many questions. Comparison with contemporary sources suggests that Bernard was a career churchman with an interest in ascetism and the apostolic life, who left his original house in Poitiers because of resistance to reforms that he had introduced as abbot. A successful search for a patron enabled him to establish an entirely new community at Tiron in the Perche, where he was…
Affairs of State
The use of illegitimate children to further political designs was not unusual among medieval kings, but the number of Henry I of England’s offspring was remarkable, even by contemporary standards. There is no indication that he chose his partners from the diverse racial groups within the Anglo-Norman realm as a political gesture and they were mostly taken from the same social grouping that provided his ‘new men’. Henry’s peripatetic lifestyle mad…

Orderic Vitalis and Rober of Bellême
The Norman monastic chronicler Orderic Vitalis's treatment of Robert of Bellême, the twelfth-century Anglo-Norman magnate and overmighty subject of the English kings, William II and Henry I, is discussed and compared with evidence from other sources. A contrast is drawn between Orderic's eagerness to portray Robert as a villain and his apparent acceptance of the misdemeanors of Henry I, who is presented favourably because of the period of relativ…

Family and influence to the south of Normandy in the eleventh century
The Bellême family were among the most important of the new families to emerge in the unsettled conditions of northern France in the tenth century. They illustrate well the manner in which those families extended their influence at the expense of declining central authorities. The nature of their relations with their overlords, the counts of Maine and the dukes of Normandy, is examined and a new chronology proposed for the complex divisions of es…
