| Description: |
This first edition of the Anglo-Saxon archive of the Benedictine monastery at Peterborough includes royal diplomas, an Old English will and a series of spectacular post-Conquest forgeries. The earlier documents overturn our understanding of an earlier house known as Medeshamstede, and shed light on the fate of the East Midlands under Danish rule. |
| Synopsis: |
This is the first critical edition of the Anglo-Saxon archive of the Benedictine monastery at Peterborough, established by Bishop Aethelwold around AD 970 on the site of an earlier house known as Medeshamstede. The archive comprises 31 documents ranging in date from the 7th to the 11th centuries. Alongside genuine royal diplomas, leases and an Old English will, are a series of spectacular forgeries that were created after the Norman Conquest as the monastic community strove to enhance its status and protect its endowment. A collection of hugely important memoranda, 'the Medeshamstede memoranda', preserve intriguing details of transactions that took place in the later 7th century, and a series of brief records illuminate the processes by which Aethelwold built up the endowment of the refounded abbey in the 970s and 980s. This volume contains authoritative editions of these 31 texts, plus a further 4 related documents. There is a full commentary on every text, with translation of all |
