  • Charters: What Survives?
    Banner 4-final.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2016 09:29 Page 1 Charters: what survives? Charters are our main source for twelh- and thirteenth-century Scotland. Most surviving charters were written for monasteries, which had many properties and privileges and gained considerable expertise in preserving their charters. However, many collections were lost when monasteries declined aer the Reformation (1560) and their lands passed to lay lords. Only 27% of Scottish charters from 1100–1250 survive as original single sheets of parchment; even fewer still have their seal attached. e remaining 73% exist only as later copies. Survival of charter collectionS (relating to 1100–1250) GEOGRAPHICAL SPREAD from inStitutionS founded by 1250 Our picture of documents in this period is geographically distorted. Some regions have no institutions with surviving charter collections, even as copies (like Galloway). Others had few if any monasteries, and so lacked large charter collections in the first place (like Caithness). Others are relatively well represented (like Fife).

  • The Diocese of Sodor Between N I Ð Aróss and Avignon – Rome, 1266
    Theð diocese of Sodor between Ni aróss and Avignon – Rome, 1266-1472 Sarah E. Thomas THE organisation and administration of the diocese of Sodor has been discussed by a number of scholars, either jointly with Argyll or in relation to 1 ð Norway. In 1266 the diocese of Sodor or Su reyjar encompassed the Hebrides and the Isle of Man, but by the end of the fourteenth century, it was divided between the Scottish Hebrides and English Man. The diocese’s origins lay in the Norseð kingdom of the Isles and Man and its inclusion in the province of Ni aróss can be traced back to the actions of Olaf 2 Godredsson in the 1150s.ð After the Treaty of Perth of 2 July 1266, Sodor remained within the Ni aróss church province whilst secular sovereignty 3 and patronage of the see had been transferred to the King of Scots. However, wider developments in the Christian world and the transfer of allegiance of Hebridean secular ðrulers from Norway to Scotland after 1266 would loosen Sodor’s ties to Ni aróss. This article examines the diocese of Sodor’s relationship with its metropolitan and the rather neglected area of its developing links with the papacy. It argues that the growing 1 A.I.

  • How to Legitimate Rebellion and Condemn Usurpation of the Crown: Discourses of Fidelity and Treason in the Gesta Danorum of Saxo Grammaticus
    HOW TO LEGITIMATE REBELLION AND CONDEMN USURPATION OF THE CROWN: DISCOURSES OF FIDELITY AND TREASON IN THE GESTA DANORUM OF SAXO GRAMMATICUS Lars Hermanson The Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus’s voluminous work Gesta Dano- rum, composed c. 1190–1210, tells the story of the Danish people from pre- historic times until Knud VI’s conquest of Pomerania in 1185. Here I will deal with the period c. 1146–1178, in which Saxo tells how Duke Valdemar gained the throne and how he later had to defend his position against his kinsmen who tried to usurp the crown. Saxo Grammaticus and the Historical Background Ever since the assassination of Valdemar’s father Knud Lavard in 1131, Denmark had been a country torn by civil wars, as different branches of the royal family vied for the kingship. The Scandinavian bilateral system of kinship implied that the combatants’ hereditary claims were more or less equal. They were all descendants of King Svend Estridsen, who dur- ing the later part of the eleventh century had restored and enlarged the royal patrimony (see Figure 1: Descendants of Svend Estridsen). In order to gain the upper hand over their opponents, the contenders each cre- ated action groups composed of hand-picked kinsmen and allies from among the leading magnates of the realm.1 During the 1140s and 1150s the most powerful aristocratic network was the Trund clan, first and foremost represented by the renowned Archbishop Eskil. The “Trunds” possessed large estates and occupied high offices within the church and the royal administration. Between 1146 and 1157 a fierce war was fought between kings Svend Grathe (Erik Svendsen’s lineage) and Knud Magnussen (Niels Svendsen’s lineage).

List of Figures………………………………………………………………..93 VIII. Works Cited…………………………………………………...……………104 3 I. Introduction In the Treasury of San Marco, there is an object of three parts (Figure 1). Its largest section piece of transparent crystal, carved into the shape of a grotto. Inside this temple is a metal figurine of Mary, her hands outstretched. At the bottom, the crystal grotto is fixed to a Byzantine crown decorated with enamels. Each part originated from a dramatically different time and place. The crystal was either carved in Imperial Rome prior to the fourth century or in 9th or 10th century Cairo at the time of the Fatimid dynasty. The figure of Mary is from thirteenth century Venice, and the votive crown is Byzantine, made by craftsmen in the 8th or 9th century. The object resembles a Frankenstein’s monster of a sculpture, an amalgamation of pieces fused together that were meant to used apart. But to call it a Frankenstein would be to suggest that the object’s parts are wildly mismatched and clumsily sewn together, and is to dismiss the beauty of the crystal grotto, for each of its individual components is finely made: the crystal is intricately carved, the figure of Mary elegant, and the crown vivid and colorful.

  • John of Brienne: King of Jerusalem, Emperor of Constantinople, C.1175-1237, Guy Perry (Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2013)
    2014 I John of Brienne: King of Jerusalem, Emperor of Constantinople, c.1175-1237, Guy Perry (Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2013). Review by: Stephen Donnachie Review: John of Brienne John of Brienne: King of Jerusalem, Emperor of Constantinople, c.1175-1237. By Guy Perry. Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2013. 221 pp. ISBN: 978-1- 1070-4310-7. £55. uy Perry has in this engagingly-written work produced an excel- lent biography of John of Brienne (Jean de Brienne), a relatively little-known medieval figure who led one of the most fascinating G of careers and whose life encapsulates the notion of a rags-to- riches story. John was a younger son of a baronial family of regional im- portance but not of wider European prominence. He was through marriage and good fortune catapulted to international fame to become the only indi- vidual to hold the crowns of both the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Latin Empire of Constantinople, though not concurrently. John is one of those characters who seems to have moved about the medieval landscape coming into contact with all the significant personalities that his age had to offer, from Philippe II Augustus and Frederick II, to Pope Gregory IX and Saint Francis of Assisi. This biography, written seventy years after an earlier one was published, presents the first focused attempt to study the events and sig- nificance of John’s career, allowing Perry to make great use of the advances in historiography since then. The work is separated into chapters detailing the different stages in John of Brienne’s life, starting with the Brienne family in Champagne in the late twelfth century and moving on to his time as king of Jerusalem and commander of the Fifth Crusade.

  • The Anarchy: War and Status in 12Th-Century Landscapes of Conflict
    Book review article: ‘The Anarchy: War and Status in 12th century Landscapes of Conflict’ Chapter 2, Historical Outline and the Geog- raphy of ‘Anarchy’, is a good summary of complex events, including the important point that control of Normandy was central to the struggle (p 30). The geographical spread of activity is illustrated by interesting maps of itineraries, particularly of Stephen, divided into phases of his reign. Early on, he went to Cornwall and north onto Scottish territory (in both cases accompanied by his army) but most- ly he was in central and southern England, with forays to Lincolnshire and, occasionally, York. WAGING WAR: FIELDS OF CONFLICT AND SIEGE WARFARE The subject of Chapter 3 (title above) is a critical issue in assessments of the Anarchy. Creighton and Wright note that pitched battles were rare and sieges dominated (p 34, 40). Church authorities attempted to regulate war, in particular protecting the Church’s posses- sions (p 36), but also deployed ‘spiritual weap- ons’, such as the saints’ banners on the mast The Anarchy: War and Status in (the Standard) at Northallerton (p 45).

  • 'The Age of Bracton' 67
    proceedings of the British Academy, 89, 65-89 ‘The Age of Bracton’ PAUL BRAND Maitland and Bructon WHEN MAITLANDHAD WRIITEN the chapter in the first book of the History of English Law which provided an overall survey of English law and the English legal system during the rein of Henry 111, ‘The Age of Bracton’ must have seemed a natural title. Bructon, the work which Maitland characterized as the ‘crown and flower of English medieval jurisprudence’, had of course been written during the reign of Henry 111. Nor was Maitland, although he was properly sceptical about the supposed connexion of Rannulph de Glanville with the treatise which bore his name,’ in any doubt that Bructon had been the work of the Devonshire clerk and royal justice whose name it bears, Henry of Bratton? Henry III’s reign was also for Maitland the ‘Age of Bracton’ in at least two other senses. Although he believed that the main part of Bructon had been ‘written between 1250 and 1258’ and that the author had gone on ‘glossing and annotating it at a later time’ (by implication down to the time of his death, in 1268); its heavy reliance on judicial decisions from the fmt half of the reign meant that virtually the whole of the reign could be seen in legal terms as having been the ‘Age of Bracton’. The second, and connected, sense lies in what seems for Maitland to have been the relatively unproblematic nature of the relationship between the law stated in the treatise and that followed in the king’s courts.

    THE ENGLISH COINAGE OF 1153/4-1158 MARTIN ALLEN Introduction THE settlement of the civil war between the supporters of King Stephen and Henry of Anjou (the future Henry II), negotiated at Winchester in November 1153, included an agreement to restore the unity of the English coinage, which had been disrupted by the issue of local coinages.1 It is now generally accepted that Stephen BMC type 7 (the Awbridge type) was the result of this agreement, becoming the only type produced by the English mints from late 1153 or 1154 to Henry II's introduction of the Cross-and-Crosslets (Tealby) coinage in 1158.2 The surviving coins of type 7 offer an exceptionally good opportunity to examine the organization of the English mints and their output at a moment of transition, when a single national coinage was re-imposed in the parts of the country that had been beyond the control of the king's government for many years.3 It is now some fifty years since F. Elmore Jones published his classic study of type 7, and the substantial numbers of new coins provided by hoards and single-finds in recent years have made the need for an updated survey of the type increasingly imperative.4 This article presents a new corpus and die study of type 7, and it examines the mints, moneyers, hoards, single-finds, metrology and mint output of the type. The essential starting point for any study of type 7 is the collections of the British Museum, which have been considerably augmented since the publication of Elmore Jones's article by the acquisition of many of his own coins and a large part of the major hoard found at Wicklewood (Norfolk) in 1989.
