Nicholas Karn. Kings, Lords and Courts in Anglo-Norman England
The Anglo-Norman period, which stretches from the Norman Conquest of 1066 to the accession of Henry II in 1154, occupies a difficult place in English legal history. It is unhelpful that its source base is more intractable than those of either the preceding or the following eras, not providing even the semblance of a clear account of how law worked. Yet the period’s unyielding sources have pressing questions to answer because profound differences …

Food and Power in Early Medieval England
This work tackles long held assumptions in both archaeology and history surrounding elite diets in early medieval England i.e., that higher status individuals had a more meat-heavy diet and that this was especially true for males. We utilise the largest isotopic dataset on early medieval diets to date to show that not only were high protein diets extremely rare in England before Scandinavian settlement, but that dietary differences cannot be link…
Food and Power in Early Medieval England
It has long been accepted that royal households in the pre-Viking period subsisted on annual renders of food, sometimes termed feorm, from the free peasantry. This model of royal support is historiographically fundamental, in the sense that it is built into the foundations of much current thinking not just on the economics of kingship, but on its origins, and on the process of ‘manorialization’. This article argues that the texts which are conven…
Public Order and State Violence
The corpus of law texts surviving from tenth-century England reveals a society that sought to maintain public order without anything resembling a police force. Rather than envisioning order as the product of state coercion, the kingdom's upper-elite legislators understood society to attend to its own ordering on a local scale through a mix of individual action and communal self-regulation. This tenth-century idealized legal order is unlikely to h…

Anthropology, Feud and De obsessione Dunelmi
The corpus of evidence for Anglo-Saxon history contains only one narrative of an extended real-life feud. In its most detailed form it appears in a short tract known to historians as De obsessione Dunelmi . The story begins with events that may have taken place in 1006. Uhtred of the House of Bamburgh, the ruling family of the English region north of the River Tees, won a great victory against a Scottish army which had besieged Durham. After moun…

Legalism
In this volume, ownership is defined as the simple fact of being able to describe something as ‘mine’ or ‘yours’, and property is distinguished as the discursive field which allows the articulation of attendant rights, relationships and obligations. Property is often articulated through legalism as way of thinking which appeals to rules and to generalising concepts as a way of understanding, responding to, and managing the world around one. An Ar…
Fish as Property on the Small Aral Sea, Kazakhstan
This chapter looks at a postsocialist fishery in Kazakhstan to explore the relationship between property rules designed to manage natural resources, and practices of resource exploitation. The Aral Sea is famous for its desiccation over the second half of the twentieth century, which stemmed from Soviet irrigation projects; in 2006 a World Bank/Republic of Kazakhstan project restored a small part of the sea, and fish catches have recently recover…
Hospitality, Protection and Refuge in Early English Law
This article explores the ideas and values which underpinned legally recognized practices of providing protection to the vulnerable in Anglo-Saxon England (c. 500–1066). Prominent among these is sanctuary in churches but this should be understood as part of a wider tradition of offering refuge to those in danger, rooted in secular notions of hospitality and honour. Membership of a community in this period inhered in legally binding social relatio…
Theft, Homicide and Crime in Late Anglo-Saxon Law
It is a startling but infrequently remarked upon fact that for five centuries English law, which prescribed the sternest penalties for theft, contained only a relatively minor royal fine for homicide. Whereas the first clear statement that the death penalty applied to thieves is found in the late seventh-century West Saxon laws of Ine, we have no equivalent statement with respect to homicide before the text known as Glanvill, composed in the late…
