Synopsis

Until now, little research has been done into the three kings who ruled England in the 940s and 950s. This volume brings to light royal legal innovations to ecclesiastical law, oaths, heriot, complex factional politics, including the crucial role of queens, differing perspectives on the final era of an independent northern kingdom of York, and developments in literary culture outside the domineering trend of the later monastic reformers.
