Abstract

"This popular primary source reader spans several centuries in over one hundred documents. In addition to constitutional highlights and standard texts such as the Magna Carta and Froissart's Chronicles, the editors include narrative sources on the lived experiences of an array of historical actors. All sources fit into thematic clusters on the Anglo-Saxon monarchy, lay piety, late medieval commercial life, queenship, and Jewish communities. The new edition begins in 500 CE with sources on the Gregorian mission and Viking invasions. Thirty new sources have been added, covering significant events such as the conquest of Wales and important themes and genres such as miracle collections, material culture, and archaeology. Introductions and thought-provoking questions situate each source in the historical landscape, paying attention to the circumstances of composition, the author's concerns, intended audience, and the conventions of the genre."

Abstract

The central argument of "The formation of the english kingdom in the tenth century" is that the english kingdom which existed at the time of the norman conquest was defined by the geographical parameters of a set of administrative reforms implemented in the mid- to late tenth century, and not by a vision of english unity going back to Alfred the Great (r. 871-899). In the first half of the tenth century, successive members of the Cerdicing dynasty established a loose domination over the other great potentates in Britain. They were celebrated as kings of the whole island, but even in their Wessex heartlands they probably had few means to regulate routinely the conduct of the general populace. Detailed analysis of coins, shires, hundreds, and wapentakes suggests that it was only around the time of Edgar (r. 957/959-975) that the Cerdicing kings developed the relatively standardized administrative apparatus of the so-called "Anglo-Saxon state". This substantially increased their ability to impinge upon the lives of ordinary people living between the Channel and the Tees, and served to mark that area off from the rest of the island. The sesultant cleft undermined the idea of a pan-british realm, and demarcated the early english kingdom as a distinct and coherent political unit. In this volume, George Molyneaux places the formation of the english kingdom in a european perspective, and challenges the notion that its development was exceptional : the Cerdicings were but one of several ruling dynasties around the fringes of the former carolingian empire for which the late ninth, tenth, and eleventh centuries were a time of territorial expansion and consolidation.

Abstract

Utilizing a "crusading ethos," from 772-804 AD, Charlemagne, King of the Franks, waged war against the continental Saxons to integrate them within the growing Frankish empire and facilitate their conversion to Christianity. While substantial research has been produced concerning various components of Carolingian history, this work offers a unique examination of Charlemagne's Saxon Wars as a case study for understanding methods of conversion used in the Christianization of Europe, as well as their significance for subsequent conversion strategies employed around the globe. Converting the Saxons builds on prior scholarly research, is grounded in primary sources, and contextualized with a robust historical introduction. Throughout the text particular emphasis is given to Christian encounters with paganism and the way paganism was interpreted, confronted, and transformed. Within those encounters we observe myriad forces of coercion and incentivization used in societal religious conversion, demonstrating the need for a serious reconsideration of the standard narratives surrounding Christian missions. This book provides a scholarly and accessible resource for students and researchers interested in transhistorical methods of conversion, the history of Christianity, Early Medieval paganism, colonial religious encounters, and the nature of religious conversion. --

Abstract

Résumé de la thèse : Plus encore que d'autres peuples du Haut Moyen Âge, les Anglo-Saxons furent fascinés par Rome, et ce, dès l'envoi de missionnaires par Grégoire le Grand. Les groupes installés dans l'île n'étaient pourtant pas les héritiers naturels de l'Empire romain, et entretinrent avec l'Antiquité romaine des rapports complexes. Durant les premières décennies qui suivirent la conversion, quelques rois se posèrent en successeurs des empereurs romains, mais ce sont surtout les « grands auteurs » (Aldhelm, Boniface, Bède) qui, à partir de la fin du VIIème siècle, firent chacun à leur manière de la maîtrise de la culture antique un élément essentiel dans la définition de l'identité anglosaxonne : il s'agissait d'ancrer ces peuples à l'Europe latine, chrétienne mais héritière de l'Antiquité, y compris païenne. Les raids vikings du IXème siècle transformèrent profondément la culture anglo-saxonne, y compris dans son rapport à l'Antiquité. Lorsqu'il entreprit de redresser son royaume du Wessex, Alfred (871-899) promut la traduction d'oeuvres latines en vieil anglais : il fallut alors expliquer l'Antiquité en langue vernaculaire. Par la suite, l'unification politique du royaume ne se fit pas sous les auspices de la symbolique romaine et, de manière générale, la culture anglo-saxonne tardive ne connut pas de Renaissance semblable à celle qui eut lieu sur le continent. Cette étude tentera de mettre à jour les raisons politiques, religieuses et culturelles de cette différence, alors même que le lien avec la Rome pontificale demeura toujours étroit
