  • Odo, Bishop of Bayeux and Earl of Kent
    ( 55 ) ODO, BISHOP OF BAYEUX AND EARL OF KENT. BY SER REGINALD TOWER, K.C.M.G., C.Y.O. IN the volumes of Archceologia Cantiana there occur numerous references to Bishop Odo, half-brother of William the Conqueror ; and his name finds frequent mention in Hasted's History of Kent, chiefly in connection with the lands he possessed. Further, throughout the records of the early Norman chroniclers, the Bishop of Bayeux is constantly cited among the outstanding figures in the reigns of William the Conqueror and of his successor William Rufus, as well as in the Duchy of Normandy. It seems therefore strange that there should be (as I am given to understand) no Life of the Bishop beyond the article in the Dictionary of National Biography. In the following notes I have attempted to collate available data from contemporary writers, aided by later historians of the period during, and subsequent to, the Norman Conquest. Odo of Bayeux was the son of Herluin of Conteville and Herleva (Arlette), daughter of Eulbert the tanner of Falaise. Herleva had .previously given birth to William the Conqueror by Duke Robert of Normandy. Odo's younger brother was Robert, Earl of Morton (Mortain). Odo was born about 1036, and brought up at the Court of Normandy. In early youth, about 1049, when he was attending the Council of Rheims, his half-brother, William, bestowed on him the Bishopric of Bayeux. He was present, in 1066, at the Conference summoned at Lillebonne, by Duke William after receipt of the news of Harold's succession to the throne of England.

This paper will look at the factual Ragnar and the fictionalized character as presented to the general viewing public. Ragnar Lothbrok is getting a lot of air time recently. He and the other characters from the History Channel series The Vikings are on Tee shirts, posters, books, and websites. The jewelry from the series is selling quickly on the web and the actors that portray the characters are in high demand at conventions and other venues. The series is fun but as all historic series creates a history that is not necessarily accurate.

BUTLER JOURNAL OF UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH, VOLUME 5 THE COMEDIA NORMANNORUM: NORMAN IDENTITY AND HISTORIOGRAPHY IN THE 11TH-12TH CENTURIES PATRICK STROUD, WABASH COLLEGE MENTOR: STEPHEN MORILLO Introduction—How Symbols and Ethnography Tie to Historical Myth Since the 1970s, historians have tried many different methodologies for exploring texts. Because multiple paradigms tempt the historian’s gaze, medieval texts can often befuddle readers in their hagiographies and chronologies. At the same time, these texts also give the historian a unique opportunity in the form of cultural insight. In his 1995 work Making History: The Normans and their Historians in Eleventh-Century Italy, Kenneth Baxter Wolf discusses a text’s role in medieval historiography. A professor of History at Pomona College, Wolf divides historical commentary on medieval primary sources into two ends of a spectrum. While one end worries itself on the accuracy and classical “truth” of a source, the other end, postmodern historiography, uses historical records “to tell us how the people who wrote them conceived of the events occurring in the world around them.”1 The historian treats a medieval text as a launching pad for cultural analysis.

  • Violet Click Beetle 12
    Species Fact Sheet No. VIOLET CLICK BEETLE 12 What do they look like? The adult is a long thin blue beetle - not violet as the name suggests! How else might I recognise one? The larvae, called ‘wire-worms’, are long thin whitish-coloured grubs that live in a rich mixture of decaying wood, leaf-mould, and bird droppings in the centres of very old trees. What do they eat? The larvae live off the nutrients from the mixture of leaves, decaying Classification wood and bird droppings that they Kingdom: Animalia live in. Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Insecta Where do they live? Order: Coleoptera Very old hollow ash trees, where the Family: Elateridae adults usually breed in the decaying wood and leaf litter of tree cavities. In Genus: Limoniscus Worcestershire the beetle seems to be Species: L. violaceus widespread on Bredon Hill, where it has been found near Bredons Norton, Even Hill, and Elmley Castle Deer Park. As well as the violet click beetle the old trees on Bredon Hill support a large number of different beetles and other insects. We think that the adults remain in the same trees all their lives, only leaving when the tree rots away and no longer provides the conditions they need for breeding. We also think that the adults fly to hawthorn blossom, and there is some suggestion that they could be nocturnal. Why are they special to Worcestershire? The violet click beetle is known to occur in only three places in Britain, of which one is Bredon Hill in Worcestershire. The others are Windsor Forest, Berkshire, and the Gloucestershire Cotswolds.

  • A Group of Tenth-Century Coins Found at Mont-Saint-Michel
    A GROUP OF TENTH-CENTURY COINS FOUND AT MONT-SAINT-MICHEL MICHAEL DOLLEY AND JACQUES YVON THE purpose of this paper is to put on record a little group of English and allied coins that seems to us to possess quite extraordinary significance where students of the tenth-century English and French coinages are concerned. Our attention first was drawn to them in 1966 in connection with preparations at Mont-Saint-Michel in Brittany for the public celebration of the millennium of the great Benedictine house, and it is hard to believe that coins of such importance as those, with which we are here concerned, could have come to light perhaps as much as a century ago, and then lain for all these years unnoticed and unsung in a showcase in the abbey's museum. There can be little doubt, though, that the six silver pennies were found before 1913 and possibly as early as 1875 at some point within the precincts of the abbey church, and it is unfortunate that we have today no more exact provenance (see Appendix A). Found between the same dates, but by no means necessarily in the same general context since the works over the period as a whole were very extensive, were five other coins that can be referred to the tenth and eleventh centuries, three of them being Rouen deniers of Saint-Ouen (Prou 394 and 394A) which M. Jean Lafaurie would date, we understand, perhaps a whole quarter of a century later than the English and related pieces that are the subject of this paper, and two deniers that can be assigned to the time of Eudes of Penthievre and so belong very much later still.

Scott Jesse This paper intends to explore the emergence of the Norman ethnicity during the first three generations of their settlement in Francia. Primarily through analysis of the Gesta Normannorum of Dudo of St. Quentin, the paper will track the deliberate measures that the early rulers of Normandy underwent in order to forge an intermediary ethnic identity which embodied both their Scandinavian heritage as well as embracing their Frankish present. By combining elements of both of these ethnic identities, the Normans created an ethnicity uniquely their own and were thus able to survive and thrive in their new homeland.

  • 1 Was Odard, First Lord of Dutton, a Distant Relative of William the Conqueror?
    Was Odard, First Lord of Dutton, a Distant Relative of William the Conqueror? Edward Dutton University of Oulu Abstract According to the Dutton tree researched by antiquarian P. H. Lawson, Odard, first Lord of the Manor of Dutton in Cheshire and progenitor of the noted Gentry family the Duttons of Dutton, was related to William the Conqueror on his mother’s and on his father’s side. This article reviews the evidence and argues that Odard was not related to the Conqueror on his mother’s side. Regarding his father’s side, the evidence is perhaps most parsimoniously explained by Odard indeed being a distant relative of the Conqueror’s. However this conclusion is only fractionally more persuasive than the opposite one and accordingly there is good reason to seriously doubt it and reserve judgement.1 Introduction The anonymous author of the 1901 book The Duttons of Dutton remarked that the Cheshire knightly and Gentry family are of particular interest to historians: ‘There is a general historical interest in the family history of the Duttons. They have an undoubted historical descent from one of the followers of William the Conqueror . and were involved in the contests and convulsions of their time.’ He observes that these include, in assorted branches, the Crusades, Agincourt, the Wars of the Roses and the dissolution of the monasteries. 2 The male line of the Duttons of Dutton died out in 1614. But it is the founder of the Duttons of Dutton, Odard, first Lord of the Manor of Dutton, whom I wish to focus on in this article.
