Translatio imperii et studii
This article looks at the geographical first chapter of the Old English Orosius to explore theorisations of written Old English, a small local language, as an imperial language. That chapter is considered in light of King Alfred’s vernacular educational programme as articulated in The Preface to the Pastoral Care and in the context of the multilingual nature of England in the late ninth and early tenth centuries
The language of history-writing in the ninth century
This article explores the language in which history was written in ninth-century Britain and Ireland, focusing on accounts concerned with origins. It takes an entangled approach to the written vernacular and is concerned with how insular history-writing, whether in a vernacular language or Latin, was an integral part of a wider Latinate European story. Differences in language choice come more clearly into view, facilitating the exploration of the…
Conquests in Eleventh-Century England
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…
Medieval Historical Writing
History writing in the Middle Ages did not belong to any particular genre, language or class of texts. Its remit was wide, embracing the events of antiquity; the deeds of saints, rulers and abbots; archival practices; and contemporary reportage. This volume addresses the challenges presented by medieval historiography by using the diverse methodologies of medieval studies: legal and literary history, art history, religious studies, codicology, th…
Medieval Historical Writing
England in Europe
In England in Europe, Elizabeth Tyler focuses on two histories: the Encomium Emmae Reginae, written for Emma the wife of the Æthelred II and Cnut, and The Life of King Edward, written for Edith the wife of Edward the Confessor.Tyler offers a bold literary and historical analysis of both texts and reveals how the two queens actively engaged in the patronage of history-writing and poetry to exercise their royal authority. Tyler’s innovative combina…

Narrative and history in the early medieval West
The papers gathered in this volume were all given in 1999 - at the International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo, at the International Medieval Congress in Leeds and during a day conference held at York. They agree that looking at the wide range of narrative forms available provides new ways of viewing the Middle Ages
Writing the Oral Tradition
Talking about history in eleventh-century England
The Encomium Emmae Reginae was written in the early 1040s to support the interests of Queen Emma amidst the factionalism which marked the end of the period of Danish rule in England. This article argues that the Encomium was shaped by its production and reception in the distinctively multilingual environment of King Harthacnut's court. Attention to Emma's key role in negotiating the interaction of the English, Norse, French, Flemish and Latin lit…
Squo;The eyes of the beholders were dazzled’
This article examines the fantastic display of treasure recounted in the Encomium Emmae Reginae. Particular attention is given to the literary traditions and sensibilites, both Latin and the vernacular, which govern the Encomiast's representation of treasure. Treasure emerges as a complex, changing and powerful symbol in eleventh‐century Anglo‐Danish England
