description: A collection of essays dealing with the history and archaeology of Northern Europe in the middle ages. It looks at Anglo-Saxon England, at its contacts with Francia and Scandinavia, and at the impact of the Norwegians and the Danes on the place-names of the British Isles. Two papers deal with the history of women as recorded in runestones, and as evidenced by law suits of the medieval period.Table of ContentsThe Franks and Sutton Hoo - Ian Nicholas WoodBaptismal 600-800 - Richard MorrisIn search of King Offa's `Law Code' - Patrick WormaldReconstructing a royal reflections on Alfred, from Asser, chapter 2 - Janet L NelsonCrime and punishment in the reign of King Aethelred the Unready - Simon D KeynesSources for pre-conquest York - R A HallThe ideal of men dying with their lord in the battle of anachronism of Nouvelle Vague - Roberta FrankOf danes - and thanes - and domesday book - G Fellows-JensenA domesday postscript and the earliest surviving pipe roll - Alexander R.
