Cnut the Great, by Timothy Bolton
In 2009, Timothy Bolton published his well-received The Empire of Cnut the Great: Conquest and Consolidation of Power in Northern Europe in the Early Eleventh Century. The interested reader is bound to ask how this new work relates to the other. Do I need to read both? The short answer is that there is a close family resemblance between the two studies, but that there has been a rearrangement, abridgement and some updating of material to create a…
Kingship, Legislation and Power in Anglo-Saxon England
The relationship between Anglo-Saxon kingship, law, and the functioning of power is explored via a number of different angles. The essays collected here focus on how Anglo-Saxon royal authority was expressed and disseminated, through laws, delegation, relationships between monarch and Church, and between monarchs at times of multiple kingships and changing power ratios. Specific topics include the importance of kings in consolidating the English …
Money and Power in Anglo-Saxon England: The Southern English Kingdoms, 757-865, by Rory Naismith
Not so many years ago the thought of devoting a substantial book to the study of coinage from southern England over a limited period in the late eighth and ninth centuries would have seemed hopelessly optimistic. But as a result of the rise in the reporting of metal-detected finds, the number of specimens known from this period has doubled over the last four decades and stands currently at some 4,000 examples. The present study by Rory Naismith d…

Britons in Anglo-Saxon England
This volume is the result of a conference, organised by the editor for the Manchester Centre for Anglo-Saxon Studies in 2004, to consider the problematical issue of what happened to the British in Anglo-Saxon England. In the absence of unequivocal answers from reliable written sources, and with mostly negative archaeological evidence for a British presence derived from areas of ‘Anglo-Saxon’ culture, different disciplines have suggested solutions…
Gender, Family and the Legitimation of Power. England from the Ninth to the Early Twelfth Century
This welcome addition to the Variorum Collected Studies Series brings together fifteen papers by Pauline Stafford. One entitled ‘King and kin, lord and community: England in the tenth and eleventh centuries’ is printed for the first time here; the other fourteen were published between 1978 and 2003. Some are reprinted from major journals, but many are from difficult-to-find, often out-of-print, essay collections. It is therefore extremely valuabl…

Writing Medieval Biography, 750-1250: Essays in Honour of Frank Barlow
The Adaptation of the Anglo-Saxon Royal Courts to Christianity
As is the case with many Germanic provinces far more is recorded about the conversion of the ruling houses of Anglo-Saxon England than about that of the bulk of the population. Looking at the conversion of élites may provide a way to understand broader issues of a province's conversion, though the ruling classes are also likely to be atypical; their conversion involved concerns which were not applicable to the greater part of the population. Poli…
The Cross Goes North: Processes of Conversion in Northern Europe, AD 300-1300
Contains thirty-seven studies of the adoption of Christianity across northern Europe over 1000 years, and the diverse reasons that drove the process.

The Bonifacian mission and female religious in Wessex
With only two Kentish exceptions, the West Saxon identity of the English female correspondents of Boniface and Lull can be affirmed. Together with other evidence, the letters imply a considerable number of female religious in Wessex in the late seventh and eighth centuries, but with a distribution confined to the western parts of the kingdom. The foundation of these religious communities appears to belong to a particular phase of West Saxon conve…

The kingdom of the East Saxons
No detailed study has ever been made of the East Saxon kingdom, and general works of Anglo-Saxon history usually devote only a few lines to it. Some incidents are well known, such as the conversion of Saberht in 604 by his uncle Æthelberht of Kent, and the apostacy of Sigehere during the plague of 664, while his co-ruler Sæbbi remained Christian. These events are frequently cited as evidence for the workings of overlordship or for the existence o…
