Synopsis
England was conquered twice in the eleventh century, first by the Danes (Sweyn and Cnut) and then by William the Conqueror in 1066. These events brought widespread and revolutionary changes to the country which are tackled by the 20 essays included here: topics include the nature of royal authority and its conduct in war and peace; Domesday lawsuits (by Patrick Wormald); the reforming zeal of figures such as Wulfstan and Ælfric and their effect on contemporary religious life; and the relationship between art and life. The editor Carola Hicks examines the extraordinary images in the borders of the Bayeux Tapestry in her own contribution. Finally, three essays discuss the development of the English language. This particular volume has become extensively cited by other historians working in Anglo-Norman studies.
