This volume focuses on Wendy Davies's work on early medieval Breton texts and their implications. Beginning with core analyses of the Redon and Landévennec cartularies, it continues with papers that tease out some of the key social implications of the 9th-century Redon material - on the nature of political power, on rural communities, on the settlement of disputes, and on transmission of property. While the Redon charters have long been known as a source of fundamental importance for Breton history, the author's database (established in the 1980s) allowed much greater understanding of the role of individuals - at all social levels, and particularly peasant level - than had previously been possible. Attention to the detail of the east Breton past also includes papers on some of the results of her fieldwork, on building stone in particular. Early medieval Brittany is not merely interesting in itself (and it is certainly not some Celtic backwater): Breton evidence can usefully be differentiated from the evidence of other Celtic areas and has a significant role in wider issues of European history. As well as papers on the familiar themes of kingship, rulership, cult sites and cemeteries, the final section highlights the distinctive quality of the Breton evidence for the protection of sacred and personal space, for slavery and serfdom and for village-level courts.

A collection of papers in English by one of the foremost historians of the social and economic structure of medieval rural communities, who here examines local societies in rural northern Spain and Portugal in the early middle ages. Principal themes are scribal practice and the analysis of charter texts; gift, sale and wealth; justice and judicial procedures. Always with a concern for personal relationships and interactions, for mobility, for decision-making and for practice, a sense of land and landscape runs throughout. The Spanish and Portuguese experience has seemed irrelevant to the great debates of early medieval European history that occupy historians. But Spain and Portugal shared the late Roman heritage which influenced much of western Europe in the early middle ages, and by the tenth century records and practice in Christian Iberia still shared features with the Carolingian world. This book offers a substantial corpus of Iberian evidence to set beside Frankish, Italian, English and Scandinavian material and thereby makes it possible for northern Iberia to play a part in these great debates of medieval European history.

The principal issue with which these essays are concerned is the nature of relations between the English and the British in the period from the collapse of Roman authority in Britain to the end of the first Viking-Age. As in the previous collection, Histories and Pseudo-Histories of the Insular Middle Ages, Dr Dumville emphasises the central importance of close study of manuscripts and texts as the key to understanding the early history of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and the 9th-to 13th-century perceptions of these. Among the studies, several deal with the historical evaluation of Beowulf and other works of Old English and Welsh literature; others illustrate the need to include the Britons across the Channel, in Brittany, in any full consideration of Insular culture.La question principale à laquelle ces essais se rattachent est celle de la nature des rapports entre les Anglais et les Britanniques autochtones durant la période allant de la chute de l'autorité romaine en Grande-Bretagne jusqu'à la fin du premier âge viking. Ainsi qu'il l'avait déjà fait dans une collection précédente, Histories and Pseudo-Histories of the Insular Middle Ages le Dr Dumville souligne la prime importance d'une étude minutieuse des textes manuscrits en tant qu'éléments clef dans la compréhension du début de l'histoire des royaumes anglo-saxons et de la perception qu'on en avait entre le 9e et le 13e siècle. Parmi les études, plusieures traitent de l'évaluation historique de travaux provenant de la littérature galloise et anglaise ancienne, notamment de Beowulf; d'autres font état du besoin d'inclure les Britanniques établis de l'autre côté de la Manche, en Bretagne, dans toute considération de la culture insulaire se voulant complète.
