Sinopsis

The contributions collected here demonstrate the full range and vitality of current work on the Anglo-Norman period, from a variety of different angles and disciplines. Topics include architecture and material remains in Winchester, Kent and Hampshire, the role of Duke Richard II and Abbot John of Fecamp in early Normandy, political and liturgical culture at the Anglo-Norman and Angevin courts, the lost (illustrated?) prototype of Dudo of Saint-Quentin?s early Norman history and Geoffrey of Monmouth?s motivation for his Historia Regum Britonum, twelfth-century legal scholarship and the archaic use of vernacular vocabulary in law texts, trade and travel, and a study of episcopal acta from the south-western Norman dioceses.
