    2 In memory of Jeffrey Martin Whittock (1927–2013), much-loved and respected father and papa. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A number of people provided valuable advice which assisted in the preparation of this book; without them, of course, carrying any responsibility for the interpretations offered by the book. We are particularly indebted to our agent Robert Dudley who, as always, offered guidance and support, as did Simon Hamlet and Mark Beynon at The History Press. In addition, Bradford-on-Avon library, and the Wiltshire and the Somerset Library services, provided access to resources through the inter-library loans service. For their help and for this service we are very grateful. Through Hannah’s undergraduate BA studies and then MPhil studies in the department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic (ASNC) at Cambridge University (2008–12), the invaluable input of many brilliant academics has shaped our understanding of this exciting and complex period of history, and its challenging sources of evidence. The resulting familiarity with Old English, Old Norse and Insular Latin has greatly assisted in critical reflection on the written sources. As always, the support and interest provided by close family and friends cannot be measured but is much appreciated. And they have been patient as meal-time conversations have given way to discussions of the achievements of Alfred and Athelstan, the impact of Eric Bloodaxe and the agendas of the compilers of the 4 Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. 5 CONTENTS Title Dedication Acknowledgements Introduction 1 The Gathering

    The Antiquaries Journal, 96, 2016, pp 23–67 © The Society of Antiquaries of London, 2016 doi:10.1017⁄s0003581516000718 THE WINTER CAMP OF THE VIKING GREAT ARMY, AD 872–3, TORKSEY, LINCOLNSHIRE Dawn M Hadley, FSA, and Julian D Richards, FSA, with contributions by Hannah Brown, Elizabeth Craig-Atkins, Diana Mahoney-Swales, Gareth Perry, Samantha Stein and Andrew Woods Dawn M Hadley, Department of Archaeology, University of Sheffield, Northgate House, West Street, Sheffield S14ET, UK. Email: d.m.hadley@sheffield.ac.uk Julian D Richards, Department of Archaeology, University of York, The King’s Manor, York YO17EP, UK. Email: [email protected] This paper presents the results of a multidisciplinary project that has revealed the location, extent and character of the winter camp of the Viking Great Army at Torksey, Lincolnshire, of AD 872–3. The camp lay within a naturally defended area of higher ground, partially surrounded by marshes and bordered by the River Trent on its western side. It is considerably larger than the Viking camp of 873–4 previously excavated at Repton, Derbyshire, and lacks the earthwork defences identified there. Several thousand individuals overwintered in the camp, including warriors, craftworkers and merchants. An exceptionally large and rich metalwork assemblage was deposited during the Great Army’s overwintering, and metal processing and trading was undertaken. There is no evidence for a pre-existing Anglo-Saxon trading site here; the site appears to have been chosen for its strategic location and its access to resources. In the wake of the overwintering, Torksey developed as an important Anglo-Saxon borough with a major wheel-thrown pottery industry and multiple churches and cemeteries.

  • King of the Danes’ Stephen M
    Hamlet with the Princes of Denmark: An exploration of the case of Hálfdan ‘king of the Danes’ Stephen M. Lewis University of Caen Normandy, CRAHAM [email protected] As their military fortunes waxed and waned, the Scandinavian armies would move back and forth across the Channel with some regularity [...] appearing under different names and in different constellations in different places – Neil Price1 Little is known about the power of the Danish kings in the second half of the ninth century when several Viking forces ravaged Frankia and Britain – Niels Lund2 The Anglo-Saxon scholar Patrick Wormald once pointed out: ‘It is strange that, while students of other Germanic peoples have been obsessed with the identity and office of their leaders, Viking scholars have said very little of such things – a literal case of Hamlet without princes of Denmark!’3 The reason for this state of affairs is two-fold. First, there is a dearth of reliable historical, linguistic and archaeological evidence regarding the origins of the so-called ‘great army’ in England, except that it does seem, and is generally believed, that they were predominantly Danes - which of course does not at all mean that they all they came directly from Denmark itself, nor that ‘Danes’ only came from the confines of modern Denmark. Clare Downham is surely right in saying that ‘the political history of vikings has proved controversial due to a lack of consensus as to what constitutes reliable evidence’.4 Second, the long and fascinating, but perhaps ultimately unhealthy, obsession with the legendary Ragnarr loðbrók and his litany of supposed sons has distracted attention from what we might learn from a close and separate examination of some of the named leaders of the ‘great army’ in England, without any inferences being drawn from later Northern sagas about their dubious familial relationships to one another.5 This article explores the case of one such ‘Prince of Denmark’ called Hálfdan ‘king of the Danes’.

  • The Rise and Fall of a Market Town, Castle Donington in the Nineteenth
    THE RISE AND FALL OF A 1\iIARl(ET TOWN Castle Donington in the Nineteenth Century by J.M. Lee I The old buildings of Castle Donington are startling evidence of former prosperity. Not only the larger residences of High Street, but also many houses of little importance with back-kitchens and outhouses of old half­ timbered work, have red-brick fronts and sash windows, all of the same age, which are a flourish in the classical style that dominated the ordinary domes­ tic architecture of the early nineteenth century. The visitor must be puzzled by the curious architectural luxuries which have been altered to suit other purposes. For instance, a house stands in the Market Place, with a classical pediment and a French window which once opened on to a wrought iron balcony; but its ground floor frontage has twice been rebuilt, once to accom­ modate two shop-fronts and now to house an office. The balanced pro­ portions of No. 71 High Street, and the elegance of its next-door neighbour are evidence of good taste. The two houses in High Street built for two sisters of a former vicar, Isabella and Mary Ann Dalby, command the respect due to comfortable gentility. The bold bow-windows of a shop in Church Lane and the shy milliner's window in Apes Gate remind the passer-by of long-vanished trades. A sense of solid satisfaction is conveyed by the even regularity of door and window in Church Lane Terrace, by the ostentation of Venetian windows above two shops in Borough Street and by the moulding of the cottage door-jambs in Bondgate.

  • Nottingham's Borough Court Rolls
    1 Nottingham’s borough court rolls: a user’s guide* by Richard Goddard Nottingham’s medieval borough court rolls of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries are a valuable source for those interested in Nottingham and its region in the later middle ages and for medieval urban historians more generally. Indeed, as can be seen from the further reading below, they might also be considered the principal source for the history of the medieval town. Extant long running medieval borough court rolls, like those for Nottingham, are rare.1 The court rolls which are calendared here are housed in the Nottinghamshire Archives Office, CA 1251a-1341 with the file names used in this web-based calendar reflecting their Nottinghamshire Archives Office catalogue number and the date covered by each roll. They were calendared as a joint research project of the University of Nottingham Institute for Medieval Studies (now Institute for Medieval Research) and Nottingham City Council with a grant from the Leverhulme Trust. The aim of the project was to produce an edition of the extant medieval rolls in a calendared form in English to make the text available to a wider range of users.2 The rolls were transcribed, translated from Latin into English and calendared by Dr Trevor Foulds (project leader) and Dr J. B. Hughes. As can be seen from the sheer volume of material presented in the electronic calendar below, this was a monumental and complicated task that was completed with great skill and editorial sensitivity. Until 1457 each annual roll comprises up to twenty-six parchment membranes.

  • History of Nottingham PP
    History of Nottingham Knowledge organiser What does the word chronology mean to you? Chronology The arrangement of events or dates in the order of their occurrence. Timelines help us arrange events or dates in the order of their occurrence. Today’s enquiry question: What caused Nottingham to be set up and develop? Follow the presentation and make notes about how Nottingham developed in Saxon and Viking times: • Who the first settlers were and when they settled. • Where they settled. • The origins of the name and how it evolved. There is evidence of human settlement in Nottinghamshire dating back thousands of years. Excavations at Creswell Crags, a group of limestone caves near Worksop, have revealed continuous human occupation from 40,000 - 28,000 BC. It is possible that the Romans (43 – 87 AD) also had settlements in the area as they built the Fosse Way, linking Leicester and Lincoln. Saxon Nottingham In the 6th century, when the Anglo Saxons (410 – 1066 AD) colonised Nottinghamshire they established a small, fortified settlement called Snottaingaham on a steep sandstone outcrop (visible exposure of bedrock). The settlement was on high and dry ground, overlooking a shallow crossing point of what is now known as the River Trent. The settlement is now thought to have been in the Lace Market area of the city. The Anglo-Saxon word ham meant village or homestead. The word inga meant 'belonging to' and Snotta was a man (probably a Saxon Chieftain). So its name meant the village was owned by Snotta. Gradually, its name changed to Snottingham, then the Normans dropped the s and it became Nottingham.
