  • The Cult of St Æthelwold and Its Context, C. 984 - C
    The Cult of St Æthelwold and its Context, c. 984 - c. 1400 Rebecca Browett Institute of Historical Research School of Advanced Study, University of London A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Ph.D in History September 2016 1 Declaration This thesis is submitted to the University of London in support of my application for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. I, Rebecca Browett, hereby confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own, carried out during the course of my studies. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the consent of the author. Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis documents the cult of St Æthelwold, a tenth-century bishop of Winchester, from its inception (c. 984) until the late Middle Ages. During his life, Æthelwold was an authoritative figure who reformed monasteries in southern England. Those communities subsequently venerated him as a saint and this thesis examines his cult at those centres. In particular, it studies how his cult enabled monasteries to forge their identities and to protect their rights from avaricious bishops. It analyses the changing levels of veneration accorded to Æthelwold over a five hundred year period and compares this with other well-known saints’ cults. It uses diverse evidence from hagiographies, chronicles, chartularies, poems, church dedications, wall paintings, and architecture. Very few studies have attempted to chart the development of an early English saint's cult over such a long time period, and my multidisciplinary approach, using history, art, and literary studies, offers insight into the changing role of native saints in the English church and society over the course of the Middle Ages.

I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: …………………………………………………………. Abstract This thesis examines the physical legacy left by the unification of the Kingdom of England during the tenth century, and seeks to redress the way in which the Kingdom of Mercia is often overlooked or discounted in the traditional historical narrative. It principally examines the means by which Æthelflæd of Mercia extended political and military control over the West Midlands, both in terms of physical infrastructure and through ‘soft’ power in terms of economic control and material culture. It uses landscape archaeology, artefactual and textual evidence to compare Mercia with its ally, Wessex, and assess the different means by which Æthelflæd of Mercia and her brother Edward the Elder were able to consolidate and expand their territory, the physical infrastructure they established in order to defend it, and the ways in which these sites developed in response to the changing political, military and economic climates of the later tenth century.

  • Travel and Communication in the Landscape of Early Medieval Wessex
    THE UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Travel and Communication in the Landscape of Early Medieval Wessex Volume 1 of 2: Text Alexander James Langlands Doctor of Philosophy May 2013 This Thesis has been completed as a requirement for a postgraduate research degree of the University of Winchester. Abstract This thesis will explore the theme of travel and communication in early medieval Wessex by examining the physical means, the routes of communication, by which people, ideas and goods moved through the landscape. Whilst there is good evidence for the distribution of Anglo-Saxon type-sites in the landscape, such as towns, manors, wics, assembly places and churches, of the thoroughfares that connected these places, their character and function, relatively little is known. There is as yet no document that sets out the map of Anglo-Saxon roads for Wessex. Employing the rich topographical data that survives in Anglo-Saxon charter boundary clauses, this research project sets about reconstructing aspects of the early medieval route network in ten case-study areas from Hampshire, Devon, Dorset and Wiltshire. The project addresses a number of issues that arise out of the boundary clause evidence. These include critically assessing the role the Roman road network played in the seventh to eleventh centuries and developing an understanding of the hierarchy of routes that had emerged by the tenth century. The impact of improved river crossings is also considered as a factor in the development of the route network, along with the manner in which routes were signposted and inscribed and how access through the landscape was controlled.

  • Anglo-Saxon Hampshire
    Anglo-Saxon Hampshire David Hinton, January 2007 1. Introduction: nature of the evidence, history of research and the role of material culture This survey aims to comment on some of the issues, both old and new, facing archaeologists, and on publications and discoveries, particularly those made since 2000 when a survey of Hampshire was last undertaken (Russel 2002; see also Welch 1996). Themes include the complexities of seeking to define social identities and of explaining observable behaviour patterns. Material culture can no longer be assumed to stem directly from matters mentioned in documents: even the validity of migration as an explanation of the changes in the immediate post-Roman period is in question because of uncertainty about the numbers who could have crossed the North Sea and whether a few people, albeit successful warriors, could have produced so much change to the ways most of the population lived, to the things that were worn and carried, and to language. Yet the possibility of searching for the Jutes whom Bede assures us controlled part of southern Hampshire cannot be ignored. Similarly, changes created by the introduction of Christianity thanks to the bishops of Winchester and to military and militant kings; the seemingly inexorable rise of Wessex, culminating in the deeds of King Alfred against the viking hordes; and the pitiful behaviour of Ethelred the Unready foreshadowing the imposition of the Norman yoke in 1066 remain matters to be explored both through archaeological and documentary material (Yorke 1995 is the best survey of the historical literature). Hampshire at the beginning of the twentieth century had boundaries largely established during the Anglo-Saxon period, reconstructable from the late eleventh- century Domesday Book (Munby, ed.

    GERMANIC WOMEN: MUNDIUM AND PROPERTY, 400-1000 Kimberlee Harper Dunn, B.S. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2006 APPROVED: Laura Stern, Major Professor Marilyn Morris, Committee Member Ronald Marcello, Committee Member Adrian Lewis, Chair of the Department of History Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Dunn, Kimberlee Harper, Germanic Women: Mundium and Property, 400-1000. Master of Science (History), August 2006, 216 pp., references, 44 titles. Many historians would like to discover a time of relative freedom, security and independence for women of the past. The Germanic era, from 400-1000 AD, was a time of stability, and security due to limitations the law placed upon the mundwald and the legal ability of women to possess property. The system of compensations that the Germans initiated in an effort to stop the blood feuds between Germanic families, served as a deterrent to men that might physically or sexually abuse women. The majority of the sources used in this work were the Germanic Codes generally dated from 498-1024 AD. Ancient Roman and Germanic sources provide background information about the individual tribes. Secondary sources provide a contrast to the ideas of this thesis, and information. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank: Professor Laura Stern for the consultation, advice, and debate that enabled me to write this work; Professor Marilyn Morris for reminding me to examine the underlying motivations for the actions that people take; Professor Ronald Marcello for the many grammatical and content changes that he recommended.

It has been accepted for inclusion in BYU Law Review by an authorized editor of BYU Law Digital Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Women's Rights in Early England Throughout much of history, women have had little opportunity to control their own destinies. However, a surprisingly bright period for women took place from about A.D. 580 to 1066 in Anglo-Saxon England. "[Olld English society allowed to women, not only private influence, but also the widest liberty of intervention in public affk~irs."~ During this period women exercised considerably greater control over their destinies than did their female descendents after the Norman Conquest in 1066. This Comment compares the position of women in Anglo-Saxon society with women in Anglo-Norman society and concludes that Anglo-Saxon women generally enjoyed more rights than their Anglo-Norman sisters. The Anglo-Saxon period is discussed in section 11. A brief history of the period is presented, after which this Comment describes some of the legal and customary rights women enjoyed during the Anglo-Saxon period, including land ownership, marriage and child custody, professional opportunities, political leadership, and participation in the legal system.
