The Making of Chronicles and the Making of England
Between c . 900 and the mid-twelfth century, a series of Old English vernacular chronicles were produced, growing out of the text produced at the court of King Alfred. These chronicles are collectively known as ‘the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle’. They have long been accorded fundamental status in the English national story. No others have shaped our view of the origins of England between the fifth and eleventh centuries to the same extent. They provide …
The Peterborough Version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle
In the early twelfth century a vernacular English chronicle was produced at, or for, the abbey of Peterborough. It was an annalistic chronicle, arranged by numbered years. Additions were made to it after its creation; its last entries are numbered to the 1150s. The chronicle is one of a group, now generally taken together as manuscripts, or, as here, ‘versions’ of THE Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Those chronicles, distinguished by their use of the Old …
Reading the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle
Few sources can be as significant for the history of a period as the vernacular texts collectively known as ‘the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle’ are for early England. They are the primary guide to events and dates before c.1100 AD. As such, they have a status, but also a historiographical baggage, linked to the long-standing nexus between these centuries, the English state and Englishness. A new collection of essays devoted to them is thus welcome, and d…

Cherchez la femme . Queens, Queens’ Landsand Nunneries
In 1121 Henry I founded Reading abbey, an event closely connected in time to his second marriage. This article links the lands used to endow Reading with those of late Saxon queens and of female communities themselves linked to queens. It explores lay control of such communities and the circumstances in which such control came to be defined as unacceptable, and thus in which monastic reform advanced. The events of 1120‐21, after the tragic death …

Women and the Norman Conquest
IN 1779 William Alexander published what is probably the first history of women in English. The work is in the eighteenth-century Enlightenment tradition of Montesquieu or the Scot Millar in its wide comparative reference; it ranges over ancient and modern societies, civilised and savage. Alexander was interested, like Millar, in the historical changes which had produced change for women; and convinced, like so many eighteenth-century thinkers, t…
The laws of Cnut and the history of Anglo-Saxon royal promises
The ‘first’ and ‘second’ law codes of Cnut are the last surviving codes issued in the name of an Anglo-Saxon king.They are the final fruit of the interest in kingship and law and in the inter-relationship of the two which characterized the period following the monastic revival in England and which is especially associated with the name of Wulfstan, archbishop of York. Although they are far from being complete codifications of Anglo-Saxon law, the…
