Eadgifu, Governor of Kent, in a Lost Charter of Edgar
The witness-list to a charter of Edgar the Peaceable, now lost but quoted by William Somner, designated Eadgifu, Edgar’s grandmother, as in Cantia etiam gubernator. Although doubts about the authenticity of Somner’s source are now unlikely to be resolved, a study of Eadgifu’s life and comparison with contemporary cases of shire administration and female secular power show that, at least in theory, the claim that she was governor of Kent is more c…
Composition, Comparison, and Concept
While recent discussions of music archaeology have emphasised the importance of context for the study of the art and archaeology of ancient music, there has not been much theoretical engagement with the objects themselves. This paper takes recent arguments concerning two objects identified as strobiloi to propose an object-based framework for the study of ancient art and archaeology in relation to ancient music. Contexts are not infallible. Being…
Music and Materiality
On the 20th to 22nd July 2018 the 11th MOISA International Conference was held at the University of Reading, organised by Ian Rutherford, Donatella Restani and James Lloyd.

This report explores the areas where future research on music and materiality might prove fruitful, as evidenced by the rich and varied set of topics and methodologies presented during the …
The Priests of the King's Reliquary in Anglo-Saxon England
That the priests of the Anglo-Saxon royal household functioned as a primitive chancery is a popular and reasonable hypothesis, corroborated both by contemporary continental practice and by the overlap between chancery and chapel evident from the twelfth century to the fourteenth. Evidence for an Anglo-Saxon chancellorship as such, however, remains frustratingly elusive. This paper argues for the existence of a special tier of priests entrusted wi…
The Legend of Bloody Baker
The legend of Sir Richard ‘Bloody’ Baker, concerning events alleged to have occurred in the parish of Cranbrook, Kent in the sixteenth century, was first recorded in 1850. This legend bears such strong similarities to the English folktale of Mister Fox that it has been suggested it was deliberately fabricated by a Victorian faux antiquary. There are, however, many other oral traditions current in Cranbrook about Bloody Baker which do seem to be a…
