A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Norman rhymer, Geoffrey Gaimar, recording the capture of a British town which had taken place wellnigh six hundred years before his day, assigned to it the name and title of la cite de Luitune. Like the old Saxon chronicler, when relating this same event (c. 571), he, no doubt, meant to give, not the native name of the British camp, which seemingly perished from memory along with the structure itself, but that of the fort or town which arose on its ruins, or in their immediate neighbourhood. The earlier writer named it, as styled in his day, Lygean-burh, the fort upon the Lea; the later, three hundred years afterwards, designated it by the name of the township and parish in which it was by this time in cluded, and of the well-known town which had taken its place, Luton. Gaimar sname for it, therefore, is a plain index of the survival to his day of the tradition as to where in the Midlands that fatal struggle took place, whilst the accompanying title bears witness to the ancient renown of the township of Luton, as having, in days of yore, contained a city, even a royal city, as both Saxon and Norman historian, the Ealdorman Ethelweard and Henry of Huntingdon, assert the British town to have been. A royal city, eventually, in consequence, a royal manor, of ancient demesne, even in the days of the Norman Conqueror, with a history commencing conterminously with the first recorded struggle in the Midlands between Saxon and Briton its name the only one to be met with, besides that of Bedford, in the history of the shire for the first three hundred and fifty years of Anglian rule Luton is not an upstart of to-day.
