Conquests in Eleventh-Century England: 1016, 1066
I can summarize my argument in a single image. Around 1110 a Canterbury scribe copied a charter onto the endleaves of an ancient Roman gospel book (Fig. 7.1). He recorded the name of the king, Henry I, and he interlined the styles and surnames of the witnesses in French fashion; but the anomalous feature is the script. Nearly sixty years after the Norman Conquest, in the reign of the third Norman king, a scribe at the heart of the Anglo-Norman es…
Timothy Bolton. Cnut the Great
With this new biography by Timothy Bolton, Cnut takes his place in the Yale English Monarchs series, following on from the publication in 2016 of the Yale biography of his predecessor, Æthelred “the Unready.” The reader might well ask how far this new book differs from Bolton’s 2009 book on the empire of Cnut the Great. The answer is, quite a bit. The 2009 book was very much concerned with processes, in particular the processes by which Cnut secu…

Kings and Lords in Tenth‐Century Cornwall

Consequently, the absorption of C ornwall into the E nglish state tends to…

Charters and episcopal scriptoria in the Anglo‐Saxon South‐West
This article assesses the evidence provided by the Anglo‐Saxon charters from Exeter, and the contribution they make to the important question of how royal charters may have been produced in England. The Exeter charters are unusual in that most of them survive as originals, rather than copies, allowing us to add a palaeographical dimension to their study. Using diplomatic and palaeographical analysis, this article establishes that many of the surv…
