In his hands, the structure and functions of Anglo-Saxon origin stories and charters (whether authentic or forged) illuminate English political and social structures, as well as ecclesiastical, urban and rural landscapes. Together with already published essays, this work includes an account of the developments in the study of Anglo-Saxon charters over the last 20 years."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Church and stateGreat BritainHistoryTo 1500General & world historyGreat BritainChurch history449-1066Great BritainPolitics and government449-1066Church and stateHistory942.01Brooks Nicholas1600802UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910823966203321Anglo-Saxon myths3924104UNINA
