This volume covers the history of the British Isles from the Vikings to the Norman conquest. Seven chapters contributed by an international team of leading historians cover key themes of this period such as monarchies and other political structures, economic developments, the Christianization of society, and relationships between Britain, Ireland, and the Mediterranean civilizations to the south. The text also offers a number of challenges to accepted orthodoxies about the nature and development of the separate areas of early medieval Britain.
Wendy Davies is Pro-Provost, European Affairs, and Professor of History at University College London. She has written on early Welsh, Breton, Irish, English and European history and archaeology. She is currently directing, with James Graham-Campbell, the Celtic Inscribed Stones Project (CISP), an interdisciplinary project to establish a database of all known early medieval Celtic inscribed stones. Professor Davies has recently begun to work on rural communities in northern Spain in the tenth century: she is currently writing on sale, price and valuation in Galicia and Castile-León and is developing a new field project with colleagues in the Medieval Department of the Consejo Superior Investigaciones Cientificas, Madrid.
