Another Fragment of the Old French Romance Meliacin , and Some Observations on Its Place among the Other Earliest Witnesses to the Text
This article presents a small fragment (only 42 x 138 mm) of a leaf from a manuscript of the Old French poem Meliacin, which once formed part of the stock of the manuscript dealer Erik von Scherling (1907–1956), and came to light in a private collection in 2009. Unknown to the present author, another similarly sized fragment from the same parent-codex, discovered in the binding of a printed book dated 1699, had been published in 2016 by Aurélie H…
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…
Cnut’s Childhood and Youth
This chapter talks about Cnut's early upbringing and the fundamental forces that drove him throughout the rest of his life. It explores the general nature of the system in which Cnut grew up, which was a disorganized form of political structure. It was dynamic and overall robust, guaranteeing that the strongest and best connected candidates for rule held power at any time. It enabled great social mobility, allowing successful and resourceful indi…
Cnut the Great
A seminal biography of the underappreciated eleventh-century Scandinavian warlord-turned-Anglo-Saxon monarch who united the English and Danish crowns to forge a North Sea empire Historian Timothy Bolton offers a fascinating reappraisal of one of the most misunderstood of the Anglo-Saxon kings: Cnut, the powerful Danish warlord who conquered England and created a North Sea empire in the eleventh century. This seminal biography draws from a wealth …
Celtic-Norse Relationships in the Irish Sea in the Middle Ages 800-1200
This volume contains the proceedings of a conference held in Oslo in late 2005, which brought together scholars working in a wide variety of disciplines from Scandinavia, Great Britain and Ireland. The papers here began as those read at the conference, augmented by two written immediately after by attendees, but have been updated in light of the discussions in Oslo and more recent scholarship. They offer historical, archaeological, art-historical…
The Empire of Cnut the Great
The reign of King Cnut the Great (1016–1035) marks a pivotal point in the history of both England and Scandinavia, yet his conquests and his consolidation of power remain under-appreciated and rarely studied. Almost all existing scholarship has been geographically centred on either England or Scandinavia. However, this study, through a series of studies of individual aspects of his rise to power in those regions, seeks to encompass his entire dom…
