Widows, Orphans and Churches
This article fundamentally reassesses the interpretation of grants of protection within the Carolingian world. The established view of such grants is as the legal mechanism through which rulers asserted control over monasteries and thus connected their rule to extant structures in the localities. It is argued here that, rather than serving as a legal mechanism or as a euphemism for control, protection operated primarily within a moral discourse, …
Was Einhard a widower
The ‘widow’ is a gendered, socially contingent category. Women who experienced spousal bereavement in the early middle ages faced various socio‐economic and legal ramifications; the ‘widow’ was further a rhetorical figure with a defined emotional register. The widower is, by contrast, an anachronistic category. In the absence of developed models of male ‘widowhood’, this article considers the case study of Einhard, whose letter of bereavement app…

History and (Selective) Memory
The Prague Sacramentary
Prague, Archiv Pražského hradu, MS. O. 83, more commonly known as the Prague Sacramentary, forms the subject of this tightly focused volume, edited by Maximilian Diesenberger, Rob Meens and Els Rose. This manuscript has long been of interest to historians, palaeographers, liturgical scholars and linguists alike; this volume collects together such interdisciplinary perspectives to form a rounded view of this remarkable historical artefact. This mi…
Quasi una gens
The Saxons were conquered by Charlemagne in 804, after 33 years of intermittent campaigning; they were converted to Christianity and incorporated into the Carolingian political order. Yet despite this history of conquest and incorporation, historians have largely viewed Carolingian Saxony as distinct from the Frankish world. To a large extent, this may be seen as a result of the politicization of Saxon history in the early 20th century. Early Naz…
Changing Perspectives on England and the Continent in the Early Middle Ages, by Anton Scharer
In the course of his career, Anton Scharer has made numerous important contributions to the study of early medieval diplomatic, ideas of rulership, and conversion and Christianisation. This Variorum collection, which gathers fifteen articles from across the last three decades, brings into focus common themes from his wide-ranging scholarly output: notably, the importance of networks in reconstructing cultural shifts (chs. I, III, V, VII, X), the …
Rewriting the founder
The rich hagiographical corpus, charters and privileges of the monastery of Werden on the Ruhr allow unparalleled access to its ninth-century history. This article focuses upon three ninth-century vitae of its founding saint which delineate both the transformations which Werden underwent in the course of the century and the ways in which the monastery attempted to respond and adapt to these changes. In so doing, it illuminates the role that saint…
Begegnungen zwischen dem ostfränkisch-deutschen Reich und England (850–1100)
This book unfolds with a vignette. In 1062/66, Otloh of St Emmeran undertook to write a new life of Boniface, basing his text on the earlier life by Willibald of Mainz. However, where Willibald had included letters from Boniface to Anglo-Saxon recipients, Otloh diverged from his exemplar, explicitly noting that he would not burden his readers with foreign affairs, but rather concentrate on domestic matters. For a book which is concerned with cont…
The P oeta S axo at P aderborn
This paper argues that the P oeta S axo's epic poem about Charlemagne was composed at the bishopric of P aderborn as part of a wider literary programme that included both the Translatio sancti Liborii and the Vita sancti Liborii . Near the close of the ninth century, when P aderborn's renown and resources were at their lowest ebb, these three works articulated an image of episcopal authority, touted the pre‐eminence of P aderborn, and made a bid …
