Turold, Wadard and Vitalis: Why Are They on the Bayeux Tapestry?

This annual publication covers not only matters relating to pre- and post-Conquest England and France, but also the activities and influences of the Normans on the wider European, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern stage.

This latest volume reflects the full range and vitality of the current work on the Anglo-Norman period. Topics covered include economic history, social history and a close study of the Surrey manor of Mortlake.

Norman history is covered by chapters on the detailed account of Pope Alexander III's deeds as abbot of Mont Saint-Michel that Robert of Torigni added to the monastic cartulary, on religious life in Rouen in the late 11th century, and on ducal involvement in dispute settlement.
