Free Download Professor Gale R. Owen-Crocker, Brian W. Schneider, Alaric Trousdale, "Kingship, Legislation and Power in Anglo-Saxon England"
English | 2013 | pages: 322 | ISBN: 184383877X | PDF | 3,3 mb
The relationship between Anglo-Saxon kingship, law, and the functioning of power is explored via a number of different angles.
The essays collected here focus on how Anglo-Saxon royal authority was expressed and disseminated, through laws, delegation, relationships between monarch and Church, and between monarchs at times of multiple kingships and changing power ratios. Specific topics include the importance of kings in consolidating the English "nation"; the development of witnesses as agents of the king's authority; the posthumous power of monarchs; how ceremonial occasions wereused for propaganda reinforcing heirarchic, but mutually beneficial, kingships; the implications of Ine's lawcode; and the language of legislation when English kings were ruling previously independent territories, and the delegation of local rule. The volume also includes a groundbreaking article by Simon Keynes on Anglo-Saxon charters, looking at the origins of written records, the issuing of royal diplomas and the process, circumstances, performance and function of production of records.
GALE R. OWEN-CROCKER is Professor of Anglo-Saxon Culture at the University of Manchester.
