The Afterlives of Bede's Tribal Names in English Place-Names
Chapter 6 The Afterlives of Bede’s Tribal Names in English Place-Names John Baker and Jayne Carroll Bede famously traced the origins of the Anglo-Saxons back to three of the strongest Germanic “tribes”: They came from three very powerful Germanic tribes [de tribus Germani- ae populis fortioribus], the Saxons [Saxonibus], Angles [Anglis], and Jutes [Iutis]. The people of Kent and the inhabitants of the Isle of Wight are of Jutish origin and also those opposite the Isle of Wight, that part of the kingdom of Wessex which is still today called the nation of the Jutes. From the Saxon country, that is, the district now known as Old Saxony, came the East Saxons, the South Saxons, and the West Saxons. Besides this, from the country of the Angles, that is the land between the king- doms of the Jutes and the Saxons, which is called Angulus, came the East Angles, the Middle Angles, the Mercians, and all the Northumbrian race (that is those people who dwell north of the river Humber) as well as the other Anglian tribes.1 Already in the time of Bede, it is clear that these three people-names could be used to denote both continental and insular peoples. Indeed, in Old English (OE) texts, Engle ‘Angle’ is used in several ways: (1) to refer to the inhabitants of Angeln;2 (2) to refer to one of the constituent bodies of the Germanic-speaking inhabitants who arrived in lowland Britain, and who settled, traditionally at least (as in Bede’s Historia), in midland and northern areas of what was to be- come England, and in contrast to Saxons and Jutes (and others);3 (3) the 1 Bede, HE i.15.

Bede – Part 1, Fascicles 1-4 Sources of Anglo-Saxon Literary Culture
SOURCES OF ANGLO-SAXON LITERARY CULTURE Brown & Biggs Bede − Part 1, Fascicles 1-4 Fascicles 1, − Part Bede George Hardin Brown and Frederick M. Biggs Bede Part 1, Fascicles 1-4 Bede – Part 1, Fascicles 1-4 Sources of Anglo-Saxon Literary Culture Sources of Anglo-Saxon Literary Culture (SASLC) is a longstanding collaborative project by numerous scholars to map the sources that influenced the literary culture of Anglo-Saxon England. Taking inspiration from Ogilvy’s Books Known to the English, it aims at a comprehensive, descriptive list of all authors and works known in England between c. 500 and c. 1100 CE. While the focus is Anglo-Saxon England, evidence of knowledge of sources by Anglo-Saxons residing on the Continent is also taken into account. The sources themselves are largely Western European. Most entries concern classical, patristic, and medieval authors, works, or traditions. Series Editors Frederick M. Biggs, University of Connecticut, USA Charles D.

Reflections on Alfred, Asser and the Power of Memory in the West Saxon Landscape
Chapter 15 Places I’ll Remember? Reflections on Alfred, Asser and the Power of Memory in the West Saxon Landscape Ryan Lavelle We are shaped by our memories and by others’ memories of us. That statement may be a truism, but there are few places better than a Festschrift where one can get away with starting a paper in such a manner. And it is a valuable truism. Those memories which shape us, as so many studies have shown, are shaped by place, and the places themselves are shaped by memory. This has been dem- onstrated in neuroscientific terms over the last four decades by the identifica- tion of the role of ‘place cells’ within the hippocampus of the brain linked to the subjective ‘sense of place’, in part linked to the creation of personal memo- ry, while the significance of Lieux de mémoire in French historiography pro- vides an endorsement of what many of us already feel.1 The development of the spatial turn has proved a particularly rich field in the study of Anglo-Saxon history and culture: Nicholas Howe showed the ways in which the experiences of place—those of the modern scholar and the medieval sense of place—can collide in a visit to a location, often in a way that forces us to consider how we approach the past.2 A range of work on Anglo-Saxon landscapes, addressing the context of place-names, settlement, and perception has proved particu- larly fruitful in the last decade or so.3 1 A seminal work in the field of neuroscience is John O’Keefe, “Place Units in the Hippocampus of the Freely Moving Rat,” Experimental Neurology 51 (1976), 78–109; a recent study is Sheri J.Y.

Michael Lapidge
Michael Lapidge From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Michael Lapidge (born 8 February 1942[1]) is a scholar in the field of Medieval Latin literature, particularly that composed in Anglo-Saxon England during the period 600–1100 AD; he is an emeritus Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge and Fellow of the British Academy,[2] and winner of the 2009 Sir Israel Gollancz Prize.[3] Contents • 1 Early years • 2 Publications • 3 Awards • 4 Bibliography • 5 References Early years After completing his B.A. (U. of Calgary) and M.A. (U. of Alberta), and teaching for three years at the University of Calgary, he went to the University of Toronto in 1967 to begin work on a Ph.D. in the Centre for Medieval Studies. His doctoral dissertation, supervised by Brian Stock, studied the transmission of a nexus of cosmological metaphors, first articulated by Greek Stoic philosophers, to classical and late antique Latin poets, and ultimately to Medieval Latin philosophers and poets of the twelfth century. After completing course-work in Toronto, he went to Cambridge in 1969 to have better access to manuscript depositories while completing his dissertation. The Ph.D. was awarded in 1971. After a period as a Research Fellow in Cambridge supported by a Killam Senior Research Fellowship, he was appointed Lecturer in the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic, University of Cambridge in 1974, thereafter progressing to be Reader in Insular Latin Literature (1988) and then, in 1991, Elrington and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon, a chair which he held until 1998. During this time he was able, as Head of Department, to increase the size of the Department and to introduce a number of significant structural changes to its teaching programme.[4] He resigned the Professorship in 1999 in order to become Notre Dame Professor of English at the University of Notre Dame, a position he held until taking early retirement in 2004.

Volume 2 Chapter Five: Securing the Extended West Saxon Kingship: Edward the Elder and JEthelstan AEthelstan was brought up with great care by his aunt and the eminent ealdorman for the throne that seemed to await him. ' The previous chapter argued that Edward the Elder's assumption of royal authority over the Mercians was achieved only upon the death of his sister iEthelfled. Even then Edward had to subdue IEthelflaed's supporters at Tamworth in 918 and remove her daughter lElfwynn from the political spotlight before he could truly stamp his own rule upon Mercian affairs. Yet even these measures were not sufficient to provide Edward with complete control. William of Malmesbury (of whom more will be written later in this chapter) reported that near the end of Edward's reign there was discontent at the periphery of his realm when, Edward `a few days before his death suppressed the rebellious spirit of the city of the Legions, which was in revolt, relying on the support of the Britons. ' 2 If William of Malmesbury's evidence is trustworthy, and there was a Chester, it further serious rebellion against Edward at then raises questions about the king's Chester lay strength of support for West Saxon rule at the edges of the authority.
