VIKING SCANDINAVIANS BACK HOME AND ABROAD IN EUROPE: AND THE SPECIAL CASE OF BJÖRN AND HÁSTEINN STEFAN BRINK e for European early history so famous (or notorious with a bad reputation) vikings start to make a presence of themselves around ad 800 in the written sources, i.e. the Frankish, Anglo-Saxon and Irish annals and chronicles. Today we know that the raiding and trading by these Scandinavians started much earlier. e way this kind of external appropriation was conducted by the vikings was — if we simplify — that if they could get hold of wealth and silver for free, they took it (robbed, stole and if necessary killed o the people), if they met overwhelming resistance, they traded. -
Sediment Budget and Morphological Evolution in the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel (Normandy, France): Aerial (LIDAR) and Terrestrial Laser Monitoring
Littoral 2010, 12007 (2011) DOI:10.1051/litt/201112007 © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2011 Sediment budget and morphological evolution in the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel (Normandy, France): aerial (LIDAR) and terrestrial laser monitoring Gluard Lucile1, [email protected] Levoy Franck1, Bretel Patrice1, Monfort Olivier1, 1 Morphodynamique Continentale et Côtière UMR6143 Université de Caen – CNRS 2-4, rue des Tilleuls – 14 000 CAEN - FRANCE Abstract We propose a study on the use of laser techniques to monitor altimetric variations in the tidal flat of the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. The Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel has been strongly anthropised. Because of impoldering, wandering rivers were not able to sap salt-meadow and modern tidal flooding of the Mont-Saint-Michel has lowered. Through modern studies and projects aimed at restoring the marine nature of the bay it appears that flushes are useful to discard sediment tending to silt the bay. The major aim of our work consists in the better understanding of the effect of the dam built recently (May 2009) in that purpose. Laser scanning is commonly used for topographic surveys and the generation of Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Repeating surveys, allow to quantify topographic changes and therefore sediment budgets. Our study is based on aerial topographic surveys of the intertidal zone acquired before the operational start up of the dam (in 1997, 2002, 2007 and February 2009). Sediment budgets computations confirm that the bay tends to accrete but at annual rates quite variable in time. The value computed between 2002 and 2007 is 2.3 times and 3.5 times smaller than the deposition rates computed for the 1997/2002 and 2007/2009 periods. -

Hudson Professor of History and Medieval Studies Thesis Supervisor/Honors Adviser Robert Edwards Professor of English and Comparative Literature Thesis Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The beginning of the Hundred Years War came about from relentless conflict between France and England, with roots that can be traced the whole way to the 11th century, following the Norman invasion of England. These periods of engagement were the result of English nobles both living in and possessing land in northwest France. In their efforts to prevent further bloodshed, the monarchs began to engage in marriage diplomacy; by sending a young princess to a rival country, the hope would be that her native people would be unwilling to wage war on a royal family that carried their own blood. While this method temporarily succeeded, the tradition would create serious issues of inheritance, and the beginning of the last phase of the Hundred Years War, and the last act of success on the part of the English, the Treaty of Troyes, is the culmination of the efforts of the French kings of the early 14th century to pacify their English neighbors, cousins, and nephews. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1 Plantagenet Claim to France................................................................................... -

In 1814 it remained largely French-speaking, though it had been politically British for 600 years. The island's only town, St Peter Port (which in 1814 accommodated over half the population) had during the previous century developed a thriving commercial sector with strong links to England, whose cultural influence it began to absorb. The rural hinterland was, by contrast, characterised by a traditional autarkic regime more redolent of pre industrial France. By 1914, the population had doubled, but St Peter Port's share had fallen to 43 percent. -

Documents of Constitutional Importance for the Channel Islands
THE JERSEY & GUERNSEY LAW REVIEW 2015 DOCUMENTS OF CONSTITUTIONAL IMPORTANCE FOR THE CHANNEL ISLANDS: Reflections on a Rencontre Gordon Dawes The papers presented at a Rencontre in Guernsey in 2009 drew attention to a number of documents of significance in the constitutional history of the Channel Islands. The author examines each of them. 1 It was my privilege to edit ten papers produced for and after the Rencontre which took place in 2009, loosely themed around the Treaty of Paris of 1259. The papers covered a wide range of topics historical and legal, but shared a common Anglo-Norman theme. The Rencontres are important opportunities for the legal and academic communities of the United Kingdom, France, the Channel Islands and further afield to meet, exchange ideas and stimulate each other’s activities. The published proceedings of the Rencontres are valuable records in their own right and have stood the test of time in terms of their usefulness. Highlights from previous travaux include Robert Génestal’s La Formation et le Développement de la Coutume de Normandie1 and Jean Yver’s Les caractères originaux de la Coutume normande dans les îles de la Manche.2 The papers from the 2004 Rencontre3 were well received. The wonderfully evocative and illuminating tale underlying John Kelleher’s paper has stayed with me in particular.4 1 Travaux de la Semaine d’Histoire du Droit Normand tenue à Guernesey du 26 au 30 Mai 1927, Caen 1928, at 37.

THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY A COMPARISON OF NORMAN ARCHITECTURE IN THE KINGDOMS OF ENGLAND AND SICILY Mikito Muroya FALL 2014 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in History with honors in History Reviewed and approved* by the following: Kathryn Salzer Assistant Professor of History Thesis Supervisor Mike Milligan Senior Lecturer in History Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This study offers a comparison of the differing architectural styles and forms in the Norman Kingdoms of Sicily and England, exploring what exactly differed, as well as attempting to determine why such differences exist in each area. In the Kingdom of England, the Normans largely imported their own forms from Normandy, incorporating little of the Anglo-Saxon architectural heritage. There are in fact examples of seemingly deliberate attempts to eliminate important Anglo-Saxon buildings and replace them with structures built along Norman lines. By contrast, in the Kingdom of Sicily, buildings erected after the arrival of the Normans feature a mix of styles, incorporating features of the earlier Islamic, Byzantine and local Italian Romanesque, as well as the Normans' own forms. It is difficult to say why such variance existed, but there are numerous possibilities. Some result from the way each state was formed: England had already existed as a kingdom when the Normans conquered the land and replaced the ruling class, while the Kingdom of Sicily was a creation of the Norman conquerors; furthermore, the length of time taken to complete the conquest contrasted greatly. -
Parliament: Should Britain Continue the War After Yorktown?
1 Revolutionary War Unit Parliament: Should Britain Continue the War after Yorktown? TIME AND GRADE LEVEL One 45 or 50 minute class period in a Grade 4-8. (There is also a two-day version of this lesson.) PURPOSE AND CRITICAL ENGAGEMENT QUESTIONS History is the chronicle of choices made by actors/agents/protagonists who, in very specific contexts, unearth opportunities and inevitably encounter impediments. During the Revolutionary War people of every stripe navigated turbulent waters. As individuals and groups struggled for their own survival, they also shaped the course of the nation. Whether a general or a private, male or female, free or enslaved, each became a player in a sweeping drama. The instructive sessions outlined here are tailored for upper elementary and middle school students, who encounter history most readily through the lives of individual historical players. Here, students actually become those players, confronted with tough and often heart-wrenching choices that have significant consequences. History in all its complexity comes alive. It is a convoluted, thorny business, far more so than streamlined timelines suggest, yet still accessible on a personal level to students at this level. In this simulation, elementary or middle school students become members of the British Parliament who must decide, after the defeat at Yorktown, whether to continue the war in America. The lesson opens with a question. In 1777, Britain lost some 7,000 soldiers at Saratoga; in 1781 it lost some 8,000 at Yorktown, but it still had over 40,000 troops stationed in North America and the West Indies. Why did one defeat trigger the end of the war, while others did not? The question itself, rarely asked, leads to an expanded look at the Revolutionary War, which by 1781 had evolved into a global war. -
League of the Public Weal, 1465
League of the Public Weal, 1465 It is not necessary to hope in order to undertake, nor to succeed in order to persevere. —Charles the Bold Dear Delegates, Welcome to WUMUNS 2018! My name is Josh Zucker, and I am excited to be your director for the League of the Public Weal. I am currently a junior studying Systems Engineering and Economics. I have always been interested in history (specifically ancient and medieval history) and politics, so Model UN has been a perfect fit for me. Throughout high school and college, I’ve developed a passion for exciting Model UN weekends, and I can’t wait to share one with you! Louis XI, known as the Universal Spider for his vast reach and ability to weave himself into all affairs, is one of my favorite historical figures. His continual conflicts with Charles the Bold of Burgundy and the rest of France’s nobles are some of the most interesting political struggles of the medieval world. Louis XI, through his tireless work, not only greatly transformed the monarchy but also greatly strengthened France as a kingdom and set it on its way to becoming the united nation we know today. This committee will transport you to France as it reinvents itself after the Hundred Years War. Louis XI, the current king of France, is doing everything in his power to reform and reinvigorate the French monarchy. Many view his reign as tyranny. You, the nobles of France, strive to keep the monarchy weak. For that purpose, you have formed the League of the Public Weal.
