Medieval Bibliography
American Numismatic Society, Summer Graduate Seminar MEDIEVAL NUMISMATIC REFERENCES Robert Wilson Hoge Literature covering the numismatics of the European Middle Ages is vast and disparate. Numerous useful bibliographical sources exist, but finding relevant citations can be challenging. The attached selections provide merely an introduction and partial overview to materials in several areas, along with some observations. They are by no means exhaustive. Frequently encountered acronyms are listed as they occur in alphabetical sequence in place of the authors’ names. Emphasis has been laid on the more general works rather than the extensive specialized literature in periodical sources. Early Medieval and General (BMC) Wroth, Warwick. 1911. Catalogue of the coins of the Vandals, Ostrogoths and Lombards, and of the empires of Thessalonica, Nicaea and Trebizond in the British Museum. London: the Trustees of the British Museum. Very important, a basic collection, although much new information has been learned during the past 100 years. Chautard, Jules Marie Augustin. 1871. Imitations des monnaies au type esterlin frappés en Europe pendant le XIIIe et le XIVe siècle. Nancy: Impression de l'Académie de Stanislas. This work is “ancient” but has not been superceded. Engel, Arthur, and Raymond Serrure. 1891-1905. Traité de numismatique du moyen âge. 3 vols. Paris: E. Leroux. A general introductory handbook on the subject, standard. Grierson, Philip. 1976. Monnaies du Moyen Age. Fribourg: Office du Livre. Grierson, P. 1991. Coins of Medieval Europe. London. These two works (the latter a shorter, English version of the former) constitute an excellent introduction. Grierson was the international “grand master” of Medieval numismatics. Ilisch, Peter. -

KING CNUT's LAST COINAGE? Robert L. Schichler on 12
KING CNUT’S LAST COINAGE? Robert L. Schichler On 12 November 1035, Cnut the Great died, leaving uncertain in England the matter of the royal succession, for the king had not named a successor (O’Brien 159). Two of his sons, by different women, were preoccupied in Scandinavia: Swein, Cnut’s eldest son from his earlier union with Ælfgifu of Northampton, had recently been deposed as regent or king of Norway and had fled to seek the support of his half- brother Harthacnut, Cnut’s son by Queen Emma (also called Ælfgifu by the English), who was reigning in Denmark. These two sons, on good terms with each other, then apparently agreed to a geographical division of England, the southern section going to Harthacnut, the northern section to Swein. Because neither of them could leave Denmark at this time, the decision was made that Cnut’s middle son Harold Harefoot, full-brother to Swein and half-brother to Harthacnut, should oversee the affairs of England in their absence (Howard 51-52). This plan, however, met with the objection of Queen Emma, who, distrusting Harold and his mother, was watching out for the interests of her son Harthacnut, and did not wish to lose her own position of power. She had even anticipated such a dreaded development when agreeing to marry Cnut in 1017; mindful of the children of the other Ælfgifu and Cnut, Emma had made it a condition of her acceptance of the marriage that no other son but her own (by Cnut) should succeed to the throne: “But she refused ever to become the bride of Knútr, unless he would affirm to her by oath, that he would never set up the son of any wife other than herself to rule after him, if it happened that God should give her a son by him. -

MEDIEVAL COINS – an Introduction
MEDIEVAL COINS – An Introduction Richard Kelleher, Fitzwilliam Museum and Barrie Cook, British Museum PART 1. BACKGROUND 1) Early coinage (c.600-860s) This early phase saw the emergence of a gold coinage on a small scale inspired by imported Merovingian coins. Over the 7 th century the gold gave way to a much more extensive silver currency Shilling/Tremissis/‘Thrymsa’ (early 7 th century) The first indigenous English coins imitated Frankish tremisses with occasional Roman or Byzantine influences. They are often referred to as ‘thrymsas’ but there is no evidence for the use of this word in the period. They were struck in Kent and London and (probably) York. Weight: c.1.28g Diameter: 12mm Metal: Gold Design: various but often an obverse bust and some form of reverse cross. A few have inscriptions. As UK finds: Extremely rare. Penny/Sceat/‘Sceatta’ (c.660-mid 8 th century) After a transitional phase comprising base gold coins the silver penny emerged c.660-680. These small, thick coins were of a similar size to the gold shillings. The use of the name ‘sceatta’ which one often sees was not a contemporary term. Weight: c.1.10g Diameter: 12mm Metal: Silver Design: Huge variety in imagery including busts, crosses, plants, birds and animals. As UK finds: Common. Penny/‘Styca’ Coinage in the kingdom of Northumbria developed differently to that elsewhere in the late 8 th and 9 th centuries. The silver pennies became debased until they were essentially copper. They were produced in large quantities. Weight: c.1.2g Diameter: mm Metal: Copper Design: Inscription around a central pellet or cross, naming the ruler and moneyer. -
