Aprašymas

New insights into interpretive problems in the history of England and Europe between the eighth and thirteenth centuries.

The articles in this volume of the Haskins Society Journal take the reader from early England to the thirteenth century, from Europe to the Holy Land. Chapters explore issues of Anglo-Saxon social status and settlement andpeasant agency in the France of King Louis IX; while, through a careful re-examination of documentary and narrative evidence, further articles offer new insights into succession crises in England and the Principality of Antioch, with special attention to the role of women in the assumption of political power and its narration. The record and moral horizons of both First and Fourth Crusaders also receive close attention; and finally, a survey of the construction of the Norman past in the French Chronique de Normandie rounds out the collection.
