Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of 528 Anglo-Saxon charters between 839â"878 AD, drawn primarily from the archives of Christ Church Canterbury. They shed light on the intricate political and social landscapes of ninth-century England, providing unique insights into the relationships between the ruling class and the Church during an era of profound change. The charters chronicle the transitions between monastic and lay ownership of vast tracts of land, as well as the development of Wessex from a regional kingdom to the dominant Anglo-Saxon power under Ethelwulf and his son, Alfred the Great. By delving into the perspectives of contemporary scribes, the book invites readers to engage with the historical processes that shaped the religious, social, and political realities of early medieval England.
