Book Synopsis The Carmen de Hastingae Proelio of Guy, Bishop of Amiens by : Bishop of Amiens Guy
Download or read book The Carmen de Hastingae Proelio of Guy, Bishop of Amiens written by Bishop of Amiens Guy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-10-07 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Carmen de Hastingae Proelio is one of the most discussed sources for the Norman Conquest of England. Its authorship and date cannot be established entirely beyond dispute, but the weight of scholarly opinion supports a date of composition of 1068 or earlier, by Guy, bishop of Amiens, thus making it the earliest surviving account. Whatever its date, the Carmen remains a source of intrinsic interest and importance, and one used by some of the great chroniclers of the period, such as Orderic Vitalis. It is an epic poem, concerned with some of the most momentous events of a remarkable year, in which Halley's comet was a disturbing portent of undisclosed disasters. For this second edition, Frank Barlow has written an entirely new and substantial historical introduction, incorporating the scholarly research of a generation. He has also provided a fresh translation and notes, as well as revising the Latin text of the 1972 edition by Catherine Morton and Hope Muntz.

Download or read book Carmen Widonis written by Kathleen Tyson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-08-04 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a full-colour 2018 edition of the book that is changing the way we understand the Norman Conquest. Five years ago Kathleen Tyson began a new transcription and translation of the only manuscript to fully document the Norman Conquest, from the sailing of the fleet from Dives to the consecration of William as king of England on Christmas Day 1066. Her translation and analysis are important for several reasons. First, she demonstrates that the motivations for the conflict arose from a long-standing contest between Danes and Normans for control of Britain's mineral wealth and mercantile trade. Second, she reveals a new geography for the port and battle that shifts the action into the Brede Basin, then an extensive estuary or sandy loch - 'Senlac'. Finally, by adhering to the literal manuscript, she reveals the truce ending the siege of London secured the citizenry the Charter of London's Liberties, a grant of royal prerogatives and protections that would frame Magna Carta two centuries later and parliamentary democracy thereafter. This 2018 book, retitled as Carmen Widonis - The First History of the Norman Conquest, updates the text of her previous book, Carmen de Triumpho Normannico - The Song of the Norman Conquest. It is published in larger format and in colour with the Latin and English texts reformatted for easier reading and reference, and colour photographs and maps bring the action and geography into detailed focus.

Book Synopsis Anatomy of a Duchy by : David Kalhous
Download or read book Anatomy of a Duchy written by David Kalhous and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-07-06 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of the early Přemyslid realm provides an opportunity for recognizing the importance of different factors involved in the formation of stable social structures in the early medieval regnum. The contemporary narrative emphasizes the importance of violence, where the Přemyslid princes and their powerful retinues imposed princely will on elites and freemen in Bohemia and Moravia. However, our attention also turns to the problematic evidence of assumed powerful cavalry armies and the importance of communication between prince, elites and church, somewhat problematizing the role of violence as the primary tool of governance. Furthermore, an analysis of “otherness” in Saxon chronicles and a comparison of different traditions of St. Wenceslas and Great Moravia confirm the importance of the “Identitätsbildung”-process and “ideology” as stabilising factors in the new Přemyslid regnum.

Book Synopsis The House of Godwine by : Emma Mason
Download or read book The House of Godwine written by Emma Mason and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2004-03-04 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harold Godwineson was king of England from January 1066 until his death at Hastings in October of that year. For much of the reign of Edward the Confessor, who was married to Harold’s sister Eadgyth, the Godwine family, led by Earl Godwine, had dominated English politics. In The Rise and Fall of the House of Godwine, Emma Mason tells the turbulent story of a remarkable family which, until Harold’s unexpected defeat, looked far more likely than the dukes of Normandy to provide the long-term rulers of England. But for the Norman Conquest, an Anglo-Saxon England ruled by the Godwine dynasty would have developed very differently from that dominated by the Normans.

Book Synopsis History and Family Traditions in England and the Continent, 1000-1200 by : E.M.C. van Houts
Download or read book History and Family Traditions in England and the Continent, 1000-1200 written by E.M.C. van Houts and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Normans in France and England left a rich legacy in historiography and literature, which is the subject of this volume. Dr van Houts first deals with the Scandinavian inheritance, which together with contacts with Danish England and Byzantium led to an interesting mix of pagan and ecclesiastical themes. Next she analyses the propaganda that followed the Norman conquest of England, in which the panegyrics written by French clerks eager to gain favour contrast markedly with the almost unanimous condemnation of William’s actions on the Continent. Included is the earliest history of the battle of Hastings written in England, here published with a new English translation. The last papers consider the role of women in the transmission of knowledge about the past: in their families they passed on memories, and their importance as commissioners, readers and informants of chroniclers must also not be underestimated.

Book Synopsis Writing Battles by : Máire Ní Mhaonaigh
Download or read book Writing Battles written by Máire Ní Mhaonaigh and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Battles have long featured prominently in historical consciousness, as moments when the balance of power was seen to have tipped, or when aspects of collective identity were shaped. But how have perspectives on warfare changed? How similar are present day ideologies of warfare to those of the medieval period? Looking back over a thousand years of British, Irish and Scandinavian battles, this significant collection of essays examines how different times and cultures have reacted to war, considering the changing roles of religion and technology in the experience and memorialisation of conflict. While fighting and killing have been deplored, glorified and everything in between across the ages, Writing Battles reminds us of the visceral impact left on those who come after.
