    Description

    Contributions to the forty-ninth volume of Anglo-Saxon England focus on aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture and history across a period from the sixth to the thirteenth century. This volume begins with a Record of the nineteenth conference of the International Society of Anglo-Saxonists, and ends with examination of Slave resistance in early Medieval England. Be wifmannes beweddunge is used to discuss the Anglo-Saxon betrothal and wedding process, and the gradual Christianisation of wedding rites throughout the period. Two companion articles re-evaluate commonly held beliefs about elite diets, using isotopic evidence to counter previous assumptions about the feorm or 'food rent' sent by free peasants to royal households. Also included are an examination of a recently discovered fragment of the abridged version of Cassiodorus's Expositio psalmorum, a reassessment of the importance of bookland in understanding the period, and an investigation into conflicting East Anglican episcopal chronology, with regard to Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica.

    • Contains two companion articles which significantly further our understanding of elite Anglo-Saxon diet
    • In this volume, there is a broad-ranging examination of a quasi-legal text, Be wifmannes beweddunge, which sets out the intertwining of secular and sacred in Anglo-Saxon wedding rites throughout the period
    • A chapter on bookland aims to demistify the concept, showing that it was not a homogenous Anglo-Saxon charter tradition, but rather there were distinct regional variations throughout England
